I’m here. It’s like a bad boyfriend break up. So easy to think the fun was worth it. So tempting to go back. But deep down you know it’s not right for you.

I feel like you wrote this for me. Struggling with longing to return, especially with Pope Leo, yet knowing I no longer believe things that are central to the Catholic faith. It's been almost 50 years, and the hole still hurts.

Yes. One part of church attendance I appreciate is mental stimulation, new thoughts, new directions to explore old questions. Your essays definitely provide a Bountiful spread of tasty options to Ponder.
