Well TH, you know there is the "institutional church" and the individual church community. Most of us were raised that it was a DUTY to go to Mass. I don't look at it like that anymore.
Only lately have some church communities become more.........sociable at Mass. That depends a lot on the pastor.
I really like the warmth, but have a lot of friends who do not.
I guess they all get you where you're goin.
And so does the guy who created the universe.
