Disgracefully, me too.
DM, Catholics have always been attacked, ridiculized, killed and a long etcetera... No surprise.
In general, I'm just happy with my faith. I think it has helped me keep some good strong moral standards, a general sensation of peace (which doesn't come from an illusion), and it has also brought a few side-benefits to my life. I can say I'm 29, without STDs, I don't take drugs and I haven't become a irresponsible father either, for instance; many of my friends can't.
For me, that's a small blessing to thank. No one needs to agree with me if he doesn't want to.
