Today is Good Friday. Good Friday is celebrated as the anniversary of Christ's crucifixion.

If someone comes up to me and asks me what religion I am, I tell them I'm Catholic. I was certainly raised Catholic. I've been baptized as such, I've had my first communion and confirmation, and I always attended Catholic schools. I used to attend mass every Sunday and I never ate meat on Good Friday. When I vote, I vote for a school trustee for the Separate School Board. When I tore my ACL, I had them list me as Catholic in the database.

The fact of the matter is, I disagree with a great deal of what the Catholic church stands for. I fundamentally disagree with so much of their agenda, I've essentially become a non-practicing Catholic at this point in my life. I touched on this back in July.

Having said that, my faith is strong. I believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. My issues are with organized religion which too often is used as a means to spread hatred. I see and hear people hiding cowardly behind the bible to condemn those who are different to the depths of hell. I'm simply not comfortable with that. I've become a rather non-religious person.

I'll chat with Jesus today, but it won't be in a church. The hypocrisy of it all would be crippling.
