A new member. A Catholic school teacher.

[Mr. Moncrieff]

That you got caught with your pecker in a tender young pie hole?


Oh wait. That's Catholic priests not teachers.


Welcome BTW.

I'm glad to see that you have the integrity to leave the job because you don't fufill the requirements set upon you by the school. I was raised catholic and was a devout one for most of my llife. It was difficult for me to finally leave the church as it was my family and my culture as much as my faith. By all means, feel free to seek out the truth, but remain open to all possibilities. I wish the best for you and your family and may you come to the truth.

Thank you for the sentiment, it is greatly appreciated.

I must share your aforementioned consideration when concerning myself with a move away from the church.

It certainly bears cultural and familial ties in my context, meaning that it would disappoint the vast core of my family and friends to see that I had left the faith. My father would be indifferent as he is a particularly intellectual man and, although he still subscribes to the faith, he has long been agnostic in his views.

My mother is too focused upon the supernatural and relies upon the faith as her crutch for me to ever be able to convince her. As for aunties and uncles, I think that would be the crux of the matter seeing as our grandmother was a Catholic matriarch - although still a beautiful warm and deeply affectionate woman. Leaving the faith would be seen as a betrayal of her...I would suppose.
