Hi Lou,
Good to hear from you. You know, when I wrote that comment about Catholics and Jews, I wasn't sure if it was in good taste. I'm sorry if you or anyone took offense.
The practice of any faith seems to be colored and affected by one's family's
practice. My Catholic family believed that God was an authority beyond question, though if you begged his mom, she might put in a good word.Some years later I came upon a different way of relating to God through mostly Jewish friends. Their families didn't feel
that a disagreement with God would break the relationship.I imagine it is possible that any faith can be practiced that way, with reverence, if one chose.
My post was based on subjective experience and nothing more.
I haven't been feeling too well these days, and so I'm not here very often. I hope this post helps clear up misunderstandings. Oh, and the number ten was rather random. Or wishful thinking. I'm not sure there are ten left.
Best to you, Lou. Hope you are well.
