We're not opposed to Catholics having pride in their church, but that doesn't mean that every church that doesn't join them isn't a church.

I still consider myself a very spiritual person but the structure of the church isn't really for me.

I grew up Catholic, so the more non-denominational Christian experience was a new experience for me.

I think the beauty of Catholicism is its consistency through both successes and difficulties. I've counted on my faith to give me strength through both training and competition - but also in school, with my family and everyday life.

I don't go to church regularly. I wouldn't say I was religious, but more spiritual.

As a practicing Catholic all my life, my faith and the church are never far from my mind. The lessons I learned in the church have structured the way I've approached my life and my career. They were lessons of grace, kindness, forgiveness, and compassion.

I grew up in the church, and I feel very strongly about it.

It bums me out tremendously what the church has become, and if it's got me bummed, imagine what Jesus Christ must be feeling.

I was never forced to go to church, and there is a lot of beauty in Christianity that I take in my life as a gift, and there is a lot of beauty in other religions. I'm kind of a spiritual mutt.

While I have never been a regular churchgoer, I'm anything but immune to the power and the majesty of the religious experience.
