"...And this is what we call an alter. Have you heard a story about 'The Last Supper'?"" I explain the purpose, meaning, and function of the church. Odd, for a Mo who hasn't been to church in years, it all stays with you. Like riding a bike. When people ask me what religion I am, I still answer Catholic, even though I have not attended church of prayed in the Catholic fashion for years. Political disagreements and personal beliefs aside, the spirituality of my ancestors is still important to me and I still identify with the culture and the people - no matter how much Vatican dogma or politics upset me.
