Baptized and raised Catholic going to parochial schools from 5th grade until after first year college.

I am non practicing for all intrinsic purposes, though I wear a medallion of St. Jude Thaddeus, patron Saint of hopeless cases impossible missions and policemen, which I have worn on my neck since I graduated from high school. It has been off my neck for only a few days in extreme circumstances. It has become a talisman for my life.

I do not attend church services unless directly requested. I prefer to sit quietly inside a house of worship be it mosque, church, synagogue, chapel, or prayer room.

I go to mass when requested by my mother because it is easier to go and sit quietly for the 1 hour than to argue over it for 3 and be guilted and reminded over it for months after the fact. I'd rather be happy than right.
