Reply #76: Recovering Catholic Here

[moonlady0623]

and Nance, you just tore away another veil. THANK YOU. From the time I was five years old and Sister Anthony told me that if I turned around in church I'd turn into a pillar of salt I've KNOWN the whole bloody mess was all about mind control. That was back in 1957; I dropped the rest of it in the '70s -- took that long because I met a priest who Got It, but he became a Buddhist.

Ironically, the first lesson in the Baltimore Catechism has become the foundation of my spirituality:

Q: What is God?
A: God is Everything

Q: Where is God?
A: God is Everywhere
