| 4. I was born into an Irish Catholic and... |

Slavic Byzantine Catholic family. In fact I can't even think of one single person in my family who has even married out of the faith. Right now I guess you could say I'm a lapsed Catholic. I love learning about my faith and its history but I have lost a bit of my faith over time which kinda pisses off my dad. I'm at a point in my life where I am exploring what it means to be Catholic or a member of any religion and am just trying to ignore the politics of it all. It's definitely been a solitary journey.
