Email: Politics and religion [EH]

Politics are not important to me though I should mention my values are conservative while my politics are progressive. (I don't believe we should try to live in the 1950s but in the current decade and beyond.)

It's good that you converted to Catholicism; it shows a mature, intelligent adult commitment. I was an active Catholic for 40 years. I still love the liturgy (I led worship music for 23 years) however I don't like being considered a second-class citizen when my divorce is good enough for every other denomination or faith in the world.
