Being Irish doesn't make you a good Catholic. I'm about 25% Irish but that gives me almost as much right to be a pagan as Catholic. You had to have learned a lot of stuff I never had to learn in "Parochial school" (sounds like prison; Juvenile Detention) whether it was true or not. I wasn't raised in a church, other than some vague Christian teachings at home and saying my prayers at night. My Dad split from the Mormon church and my Mom was only slightly Presbyterian. M'Luv can't believe how ignorant I am of the Biblical texts (she grew up über-Lutheran). But when it comes to Christian values, like forgiveness, I think I do that better than she does (which is why my family can't visit here anymore). We're about equal on charity. Jesus was silent on the "Honey Do" List, but I always feel like I'm doing penance for not working hard enough.
