I've also committed my time and resources to many local organizations like Christmas in April, Catholic Community Services, and Hudson County Meals on Wheels.
I was educated by monks - I thank them dearly for the education they gave me, but I am no longer a Catholic.
Thankfully, I was able to go to Marquette University and get my education, a Catholic education, so I could please my family, because I think they wanted me to be a priest.
I was born in Paris in 1950. I had a strict upper-class Catholic education but I never really fitted in the system and revolted against it quite early.
As a proud Catholic, I know the impact that faith-based education can have in our society and have witnessed it first hand in my district.
The cultural contrast I saw between religions... Catholics have a lot of mediators, going through saints and Mary or whatever. Protestants in general say things to God directly.
I don't know, maybe it's because I was raised Catholic. Confession has always held a great appeal for me.

My feeling is that if all Catholics or Reformed Christians had been deported to Germany, the Dutch government in London would have instructed the population in the occupied Netherlands to help them.

Isaac Davis: I think people should mate for life, like pigeons or Catholics.
Hey, I'm a Catholic deer hunter, I am happy to be clinging to my guns and my religion.
It is immoral to brand children with religion. 'This is a Catholic child.' 'That is a Muslim child.' I want everyone to flinch when they hear such a phrase, just as they would if they heard, 'That is a Marxist child.'
I have my own religion. I'm sort of one-quarter Baptist, one-quarter Catholic, one-quarter Jewish.
