Say WHAT??

Again, UUs aren't really Christian anymore, and most of them would be quick to correct anyone who made the mistake of calling them that.

And I'm not trying to defend the Catholic church in any way, but I've always thought their services were really beautiful, if just from an aesthetic POV. I grew up Baptist, and it's just sitting in hard pews for two hours listening to the preacher bellow at you for two hours, and some untalented hack playing the organ while everyone sings (badly) awful hymns. And there's nothing much to look at - maybe an ugly wooden cross stuck to the wall. Catholic Mass, on the other hand, always appealed to the art fag in me. Thankfully, the tradition of Buddhism I converted to has most of the ritual and none of the guilt. Or cockamamy theology.

Okay, I shouldn't say that. I'll just say that I ultimately couldn't buy what they were selling; if others are happy with it, I think that's great.
