I'm curious, if you're apostate now, why do you still go to mass every once in a while, stations, etc? Not trying to start a debate, just genuinely curious.


I was born and raised Italian Catholic. Catholicism is deeply embedded in my as it was in my parents and is in my whole family. I was even an alter boy.

I'm comfortable with the homage I pay to my parents and their abiding faith by attending mass once in awhile. It's just part of me and it honors a faith that helped shape who I am.
