Abstinence? NOT WORKING!!!

And women could be capable priests and need to be held to a higher regard by the Catholic church...

Strand - so am I considered a Cafeteria Catholic? I've never heard that before..

I basically just am because

A) I was raised that way
B) I like the social justice teachings
C) I actually like the ritual of it

lol...I don't hold the "Vatican Law" as laws because they are man made and therefore well ya know...

I know I'm not a devout scary following blindly and accepting all the church teaches Catholic -

I've heard "Cafeteria Catholic" a lot. Actually, I think the term can be applied to any belief system/ideology.

I am not a member of the Catholic Church, but I do attend Mass sometimes. It is by far my favorite worship service. I also like many of their traditions (Saints, Advent, etc) which are just not found in many Protestant churches, save the Episcopalians.
