Don't "sit in those pews".

A lot of "us" don't even attend Church and as for me, I cannot sit in the pews as I have a disability that prevents it.

Religious beliefs are a highly personal thing and I sure wish that people would stop lumping all Catholics into one big group. I for one never attend any of their functions as they do not interest me. That is why.

We are individuals.

How we care to practice this faith is up to each of us alone and always has been for me.

Like it or lump it is what I've always said.

If you don't like it, don't go. Period.

And yes, it really IS that simple.
