I am a Catholic.

I come from a Catholic religion, but I'm not Catholic.

I have nothing against priests. In fact, I tried for a time to be one... It should be clear, then, that I respect, and am often fond of, the many priests in my life.

I have great respect for Catholic traditions; my family is Catholic, and it's part of my life.

I grew up a Catholic and I don't want to talk badly about the Catholic Church but there's a lot of routine stuff going on. You say the same prayers, you sit, you kneel, whatever.

I found out that many of our Catholics simply don't know what the church teaches, and why, on a lot of issues, and therefore are saying things that they think are okay. They simply don't know.

We've always had issues up for discussion at Catholic universities.

I am just an ordinary Catholic.

I just try to be the best Catholic.
