They've chosen a path that only goes the wrong way. There are many people around the world being hurt by their choices and they can't seem to see that, year after year. I think it's a tragedy...

I came out on a leave of absence. I went back to re-enter and the rules were changed and I was rejected. I was brokenhearted but with time recovered. I married, I had two sons. I became a Eucharistic Minister in the Catholic church which meant I gave out communion at Sunday mass every week. I began to feel uneasy about giving communion and one Sunday I just stopped and never went back to church. I was bothered with the way the church cares what you do before you give birth and not what happens after a child is born, (like the Republicans). The election night I heard that the NJ bill to approve stem cell money was voted down. I heard a radio announcer say that the Catholic church has said "Thank God our prayers were answered." I realized at that moment that any doubts I had about leaving the church disappeared. What a sick statement "our prayers were answered". I have a neuro muscular disease and I have a dear friend with Parkinson Disease and I just don't get it. The church and their supporters are giving death sentence to decent and kind human beings in pain and suffering right now. I wrote a while back that I was in the convent.
