I believe that there are many people searching for a worship community. Some of these people may have been happy in one denomination for a long time before something happened to change their feelings. Take me, I was raised Roman Catholic and I never thought I'd change. But I married a man who had been divorced and, suddenly, the church life I used to know was denied me. I could go to Mass but I couldn't participate fully by receiving communion. So, after a great deal of soul-searching, I now go to an Episcopal Church where I am very happy. If other people in my position or a similar position find them selves unhappy in their own church, then find happiness in another, isn't that a good thing? Why do we continue to argue about this?
And Father Jim, I will come to St. Miriam's one Sunday. I'm still teaching Church school at present.

Who said you could not go to mass because you were divorced?
People will continue to argue about switching churches because it no matter how compassionate you try to be it still becomes a hot button topic. Quote:

Please read my post carefully
First, I wasn't divorced. I married a man who was divorced. And I didn't say I could not go to Mass. I could go to Mass but I could not receive the sacraments.

I was wondering where your church stood on the extra terrestrials issue:
