Tonight we had dinner at Mark and Amy’s house. Raviolis were on the
menu. I love them. Really, the only time I get them is at friends
Thanksgiving, and I usually don’t take full advantage of those because
there is usually so much else to eat. Tonight, it was really good.
There is something about the combination of cheese and pasta that
tastes really good. I also really enjoyed the garlic bread. I just
don’t get enough garlic bread.I would have loved to have a meatball to go along with dinner.
Meatballs are always good with any type of pasta dish. The reason why I
couldn’t have one, is because the rest of my family is “pseudo
Catholic.” They were all raised Catholic, but in all honesty, none of
them practice it at all. Sure, Roseann still is sort of a frindge
Catholic, but not serious at all. As for Mark, Amy, and John, they all
don’t know what to believe and don’t know if they consider themselves
Catholic. They don’t go to church at all. Never. Not during holidays.
And they do nothing else that would make them Catholic. Yet, every
lent, they won’t eat meat on Fridays. I don’t know why this bothers me.
After all, it is their own business. If they want to follow that rule,
so be it. The thing is, how can you just follow that one rule and
nothing else and still consider yourself Catholic? It doesn’t make a
damn bit of sense. Plus, I find it hard to believe that anybody who is
not a practicing Catholic can even consider themselves Catholic,
knowing very well the way the church is and all the atrocities and
hypocrisies they have committed over the years. Now, I’d like to think
of my family as being reasonable and moral (especially John), so I
should hope they would not want to associate themselves with the
bullshit that is the Catholic church, but I guess they can’t bring
themselves to break entirely free from the evil grasps of the church.
