Church

Happy Easter! Sorry for such a late post, but it was a holiday and I was mega busy. (Tuesday post vs. Sunday post - I promise that Wed will be on time)

For the Easter holiday, I went to Santiago de Compostela Catholic Church to attend the service they have there. I don't go to church often at all and aside from Easter, I attend the Christmas holiday masses. This gets me thinking about how rooted I am in the religion department.

I am a Roman Catholic, and have been since growing up. My beliefs generally base itself around the Church's views, but I do have my own differences. For example, I don't feel that Confession should be necessary. If I really wanted to confess my sins, I don't feel that I should have to confess it to a priest.

Now, back in high school days I for some time went to a church called Saddleback Church. Don't get me wrong it's a good church, but it totally is not for me. There was a time when I just went to the church with my friends because the meetings became more of a 'hang out' time, rather than learning more about the teachings. There would be table games & activities and a lot of 'feel good' time and singing. Growing up with a Catholic upbringing, gave my view of church as a more traditional, ritualistic one. That is what I like and it makes me feel more at ease. I don't like getting up out of my chair, dancing, and singing praise (it doesn't feel like me at church).

I should really be going to church more often again. They say that it might help me find guidance in my life. They say that it might make me a happier person. I'll try it out again, it'll take me back to a younger me ^_^
