well, i am a cradle catholic, since childhood. I started having difficulties in a catholic school by about the seventh grade. my dad was always good at giving me the other side of the story.
I am still what i call a small "c" catholic, will always be one. Meaning i am a christian, just not in love with the burocracy of the roman catholic church. I consider this pope to be a south american communist social revolutionary, and quite possibly the antichrist.
Having said that be careful to define ROMAN catholic, there are probably fifteen other varieties.
Personally i identily much closer with the greek orthodox, or russian orthodox variety.
