I am not now nor have I ever been a member of the Catholic Church. “I found folly everywhere, but there were grains of wisdom in every stream of it. No doubt there was much more wisdom that I failed to recognize.”
Vladimir_M could perhaps be called a Catholic reactionary, and he’s one of the very best contributors to this site. Well, probably ex-contributor now.
Well, legally, I am a Catholic in good standing (I’m baptized, and I’ve never renounced it nor been excommunicated). In my practices, I am largely lapsed, though I value the heritage, the art, the community, and the folkways a lot. As for beliefs, obviously there is a lot that doesn’t stand up to rational scrutiny, though like in any long-standing tradition, many things that may seem irrational or backward are in fact closer to reality than various modern fashionable beliefs.

Where did Vladimir_M say he was Catholic?
