Religion, Catholicism and Game shows!
Hubby springs this one on me today. "honey do you HAVE to go to a Catholic church?"
I always say our marriage started out like a really bad joke "So a Catholic married a Baptist...." hahaha
Dh would like us to try churches until we find the right fit for us. He has his mind set up that he will not mesh with Catholicism.
He said he wants to spin the wheel of religion and see what works for us. Which is where the game show reference comes in. I just envisioned "Wheel... of.... Religion....." Spin the wheel, Audience full of different religions... priests there cheering, the Pope in his bullet proof Pope guest box, Pastors, Rabbi's .....All Cheering... shouting come on Catholic... then a shout of Methodist!!! (Oh and yeah I am so going to hell lol) And Vanna in her Habbit Oh man....
I think I have talked him into at least talking to a priest and maybe going to ONE mass before he makes up his mind.
He thinks we should go to church regularly as a family. I agree.... but will we ever find a middle ground when it comes to religion?? How much should I compromise? Would I be compromising my beliefs if I converted? Would I be if I went to a non denominational church? How important is being Catholic to me?
