I wonder, how is the scandal affecting Catholics\u2019 church-going?<\/p>\n

A faithful Pray Tell reader writes: \u201cMy husband (an adult convert to Catholicism) can’t go to church anymore. He just feels utterly betrayed. I continue to go, but it hasn’t been the same. Not that I was ever dewey-eyed, but the things we’ve seen would shock even the most cynical.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the other hand, a confrere reports this from an AA meeting. A woman shares that she\u2019s been away from the Catholic Church for decades. With the Church so much in the news lately, it got her to thinking about things. She misses the old liturgy as she remembers it, but\u00a0 she’s still glad to be back!<\/p>\n

What\u2019s it like out there? What are people saying about their Catholic practice through all this? We welcome your reports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
