3. Good advice.

As I said in another thread recently, my brother and his wife (and their two kids) quit the church when all of the molestation scandals started coming out. They were horrified (though I'm not sure they were terribly "surprised&quot . My brother told me that they refused to give money to support those bastards, and they quit the church entirely. They were both life-long Catholics.

I quit several years before they did, and you're right--I definitely enjoy my Sundays with my family more than I ever did reciting prayers and scriptures by rote that I had long-since stopped believing or even thinking about.
