So my non work day is ruined ...... They referred me to matt's parish - he has no parish ... this is stupid - grr I am going to make a third run at it - b/c I think they are really not understanding the whole situation. AND I am a lot more convincing in person that thru email . And since the end of that email was please don't message me again unless there is something completely new you want to discuss ...... I think I need to make a fresh run at it in per son -

What do y'all think?

this is actually surprisingly upsetting today - I know that this is important to matt which make it important to me ..... I think my request was not unreasonable and I'm not sure that the fact that they flung some water on me when i 1 was 6 months old magically make me "Catholic" I have never done the Sacrament of Penance or Rite of Reconciliation. Dang it all i am a witch ....... I'm not going to change my mind on being Catholic and 3 months of marital counseling isn't going to change my mind either

blast it all

I understand how frustrating this situation must be. I have a feeling that the church will only see you as a far-lapsed Catholic, and that they can use this situation to bring you "back into the fold". At least, that's what seemed to be communicated in the guy's last email. The Catholic Church can be pretty cool about some things, and complete hard-asses about others. I have a feeling this is one of their "hard-ass" issues.

Not to say it's impossible, I'm just saying that you probably shouldn't get your hopes up too high. Then again, like the guy said, you've got a good amount of time 'till the wedding, so perhaps you can figure out a way around it between then and now.

if he doesn't have a parish, he's not a practicing catholic. period. he has membership somewhere, perhaps where he was going when he was younger, maybe only where he was baptised if he never moved his membership. it's called a "letter" (at least in the pepsicola church it is). it's not hard to join a church, either, especially if he's been baptised.
