Plenty of people like this in other faiths too. People who don't want to take a position against the faith they were brought up in, but don't really subscribe to all its rules either. jwb's family sound like "go along to get along Catholics".
So many people havwe this kind of approach, I think, at least in England; they don't want to put "atheist" on a questionaire, so they put "C of E" without having visited a church in years. ( = Church of England = Protestant )

@Batlord: "Francis" is a gay name ?!? Tell that to my Uncle Frank, who fought in WW2 !

You seem awfully butthurt over the Pope's wokeness.

I'll bet he left a trail of polished wood all the way to Berlin.

I'm not entirely sure what this means, and something tells me that I probably don't want to, given the way Americans sometimes use the word "wood" :eek:

lots of them though...

i couldn't care less who the pope is... They rape kids

So you're concerned about wokeness and powerful men molesting children. I'm starting to get the picture.

Haha! Was my uncle worried that the proper maintenance of wooden furniture was being neglected during the Second World War ? Of course he was!!

No one ever accused your uncle of neglecting wood.

Yeah, well it's well known that Saint Francis was A Sissy! :laughing:
