I was raised Catholic as well,until we were ex-communicated, and then I started thinking. I was about 6.
Unitarians love defected Catholics BTW. I don’t wear the label but it is a great place for “liberals”. I was told there was a mix of political leanings represented but I couldn’t really imagine it/didn’t take a poll.
The ex-communication thing is a half truth, a joke really. I don’t know the whole story. I was glad to leave.
