I was raised Catholic, but haven't been to church since my sons were baptized. When we were married we had to go to marriage prep class in the basement of the church and while ok, they played a video called "Catholics come home" appealing to everyone to return to regular service (as I imagine attendance is way down).
While the video was good, and I have toyed with going to mass again, I can't bring myself to do it. Every club has rules, and if this is their rules, power to them, but I don't have to be part of it, or force my young sons. I couldn't imagine their hurt being dragged to a hateful place, only to grow up possibly Gay themselves and feel so destroyed by it.
Sorry (not sorry) but not sure if I intentionally walk into a church for a mass ever again.
