I find it very unfortunate that the church has made it so difficult to leave. Personally, I grew up knowing this priest and I know this is just business for him. That being said, I don't disagree with your rant. I also walked away from the Catholic Church several years ago and, while I still believe in God, I couldn't stand the hypocrisy of the religion or most of what they stand for. Congratulations on your engagement.

I live in Australia, but the rules of Churches and their "higher than the law" status is universal, and I can't help thinking that it should be ILLEGAL that my request to defect from any organisation be denied. I am going to write a letter regardless stating my wishes, even if it is ignored. I must do something!Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943305395442642442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984528614609775935.post-41472925239850289242013-02-05T14:08:53.666-08:002013-02-05T14:08:53.666-08:00I just came across your blog. I know this post is ...I just came across your blog. I know this post is more than a year old, but I thought I would share my thoughts anyway.I am also a former Catholic, but am not atheist. I have no problems with atheism or atheist, so please don't take my personal religion as a negative thing. <br /><br />You do not need to have a formal process of defection in order to be excommunicated from the Church. As the letter states, the Catholic Church no longer has a formal process of defection, as of 2009, but that does not mean you aren't excommunicated. A total renunciation of the Catholic faith, or being an apostate, automatically makes you excommunicated. Being an apostate is one of nine ways to be automatically excommunicated. An excommunication is not a dismissal of your Baptism, that can never be undone, but it is the most serious penalty you can incur within the Catholic system. As someone that is excommunicated, you can't receive any Sacraments except penance if you choose to go back. Hope that makes you feel better.

Ask for another. Variations on this theme may include fondue, sour cream & onion dip, caviar, or CheezWiz in a can. Wash it down with a swig of Manischewitz you're carrying in a paper bag, with a straw sticking of of it.<br /><br />Or you can immediately drop it into a plastic sandwich bag and leave with it. Hold it for ransom. Take a photo of you holding a gun to the cracker with a note saying "Let me defect or the cracker gets it."<br /><br />Hey, I may try that myself.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00122203568339570103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984528614609775935.post-10361254930202696012012-01-25T18:27:48.999-08:002012-01-25T18:27:48.999-08:00Throw up at communion, If you vomit the host they ...Throw up at communion, If you vomit the host they freak outJoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952240956931572076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984528614609775935.post-60735798001047602142012-01-25T18:23:37.365-08:002012-01-25T18:23:37.365-08:00Ooooo...do you play any D & D, or read harry p...Ooooo...do you play any D & D, or read harry potter?
