| It is terrifying to think that you could go to the church and be rejected or turned away! That is one of the things I really don't like about Catholicism or other org. religions who can let you in or let you out of the fold. You might want to consider going to a U.U. church. The are very open to all kinds of people. Or a Methodist church. The bishop is gay. They will let you take communion even if you are drunk/outcast. They don't encourage proselytizing. They believe the bible is allegory AND fact.
I think it is important for us to leave our church of origin and find our own path. If that leads us back to where we came, all the better, at least we are then there conscientiously, not just by default.
Being raised in the Catholic church makes you a good candidate for The Goddess Culture. Mother Mary is one of the last vestiges of any Goddesses that remains in male dominated religion.
I, personally, don't think religion is for children.
