went to catholic CCD and youth group CYO.  I go to mass every sundae.  I 
help out at the church after mass or on events.  Go to retreats.  part of 
the young adult group and grad group at my church.

Thanks, Vincent.  First of all, have you ever been to a Catholic
school or do your kids go to Catholic school?  What are the attitudes
that the teachers have towards the fact that you are blind?  What do
you tell the teachers?  How do the kids get to school?  As for my
beliefs and the fact that I'm liberal, first off, though I'm pro life,
I do not believe in infant Baptisms because the baby is a baby and
can't speak for itself.  That's just unfair for the baby because first
of all, it's like forcing a child into a belief system that the child
doesn't want or doesn't feel she or he can tolerate.  Not that this is
bad on all sides, but I just don't like the idea.  I was infant
Baptized so I don't think Baptizing in a Baptist church would be along
the lines of my family's faith.  Second, I believe in the idea of gay
marriage.  Okay, I might have gone too far, but Catholics I think are
just ... well, I won't say.  But like all Christians, Catholics go
along with the Conservative belief that gays shouldn't marry because
it's sodomy, but there's a complete definition that I have of sodomy.
Then, there's more to it than that.  I don't want to make this too
controversial.  Thanks for putting up with me for a few minutes.
