I just stuck to answering the question. I've met a number of quality Christians since then, many of them Catholics. I won't agree with them on doctrine, but I have no problem working side-by-side with them, providing I'm not required to call myself Catholic or agree with them doctrinally. The ones I met at the parish and school I grew up with, however, are pretty fossilized. That's the reason the adjoining parish is getting all the active Catholics from the neighborhood- they're a Franciscan parish and have been getting things done for decades. There's a cheerful feel to church there (compared to the other) and the laity are busy doing things-like feeding the hungry and so on. They're also the reason I was feeling positive when I heard Bergoglio was now the new Pope. He's justified all the good impressions people have had, and I think he's the best thing to happen to the Catholic church in decades- and that includes Pope John Paul II whom I also like.

At the time..... I had been raised in the Roman Catholic Church, in a churched-up Roman Catholic family. And when I say that, I mean I had been an altar boy, my brother had been an altar boy and then a commentator, and my father had been a commentator and a Eucharistic Minister. I went to a parochial (Catholic) school, where I had gotten A's in Religion class, and completed my confirmation. A few years later, I left Catholicism, because I had questions concerning the big subjects (life, death), and I was fully persuaded the Roman Catholic church didn't have any real answers on the subject. I had seen far too many people flub far easier questions on far too many occasions to think they'd have any kind of shot hitting a much harder target when I actually cared about the answers. Based on my indoctrination in school, I erroneously believed that, if the Roman Catholic Church didn't have the answers I needed, NO Christians did. So, rather than look for other Christians to see if ANY of them could answer my questions, I turned my back on Christianity entirely. I was completely convinced there was a Creator God- I considered too much of existence to be too well designed to have developed from chaos- but convinced myself fully that conventional churches (including Judaism, Islam, etc) didn't have any answers, nor did any of their holy books (especially the Bible- I believed that the RCC based their stuff on the Bible, I was persuaded they lacked the answers, therefore I concluded that the Bible lacked the answers, too. In hindsight, the errors in my reasoning are plainly obvious.) So, I knew OF the Bible, had never really read it, and had ZERO respect for it at the time. The idea that the Bible COULD have relevance to people in the present was ridiculous to me and I considered that line of thinking foolish. Naturally, it would really take something monumental to get me to reconsider that conviction, and the results of that consideration, naturally, would determine the direction of my life for at least the next few years- and I knew that at the time, too. So, before twi, I knew LESS than nothing, because what I THOUGHT I knew was misinformation, error. The idea of me walking into a church seemed foolish to me.

OK, since nobody here apparently has heard Crazy Town's one hit, "Butterfly", I will move on with a different song. "The other day I had a ricochet biscuit.
