My goodness, how will you manage without all of the guilt trips, edicts, and mumblings of the papacy? Does this mean that I have to give up my petitioning and gerrymandering of the Pope to admit that God is a woman......and gay? <BR/> God is smiling on Sara, Tot and you just because you are good people.....just like you always have been. Love you.

I still haven't reach the point where I am ready to embrace another religion. Congratulations on making that step!!<BR/><BR/>I totally understand your reasoning behind not wanting to be a Catholic. I do not understand how a religion can be so judgemental about so many things... I guess that is why every war in history has a religious base.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01418041735007521091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56805708118692861.post-50907630297006152242007-11-19T13:45:00.000-05:002007-11-19T13:45:00.000-05:00Congratulations and I'm so glad you found a commun...Congratulations and I'm so glad you found a community of people who strive to live exactly how Jesus did, loving each and every one of us exactly the same.Alissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05388903454381194400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56805708118692861.post-2416685804832639472007-11-19T13:25:00.000-05:002007-11-19T13:25:00.000-05:00So glad that you have found such a comfortable and...So glad that you have found such a comfortable and welcoming community there!tbeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845011825238450567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56805708118692861.post-61277882299669286412007-11-19T13:16:00.000-05:002007-11-19T13:16:00.000-05:00From a fellow recovering Catholic who still has a ...From a fellow recovering Catholic who still has a hard time with the idea of "church", I am very happy that you and S have found a place that is both welcoming, and exactly what a "church" should be!
