i went to church (catholic) every sunday morning or saturday evening until i was 18

i received all the sacraments except for marrige (smart-lol)

i also attended church school classes all thru my school years.

i have probably gone to mass 4-5 times in the past 10 years, really hoping sometime soon to get back into it.

looking back at it im glad i had religion instilled in me

I have no issue with people who attend, think it does more good than bad for society.

Where I do have issues is with Priests who aren't allowed to marry, often creates problems. Also people who take it too far and take every chance to try and ram it down your throat.

It`s been a while since I`ve been to church. Use to go to Catholic church every Sunday.

Was Baptised, first communion, catechism, holy confirmation and confession. Married my first wife at our home church, St. Bead`s.

Was raised Catholic, received all sacraments, except marriage...I stopped going to church at the age of 17, when my dad and I went one Sunday and the priest asked everyone not to put change in the baskets cause it was to heavy, we would like only paper money...my father was livid, we never went back....
