Reply #53: I'm Catholic too. I guess I'm not a very good one though.

I am hanging by a thread after this. I don't know what to do, I have attended other church services and none of them feel right to me. I think I would have left the church a while ago if I had found a substitute. I always thought that if people like me stay in the church we can create change from within, now I am not at all sure. And I am sad about it.
A friend of mine at church is raising a son with her partner. Great people, great happy, well adjusted, loving kid. This is such a slap in the face to them, I think. If I feel this bad, how must my friend feel?
