In a class of 20, this is not the only ex-Catholic who has brought up an experience like this. How many souls will be lost as a result of this train wreck, Bishop Galante?I know the "Our Father" by memory and still do the cross hand gesture of the crucifix when passing a Catholic church out of habit from my father. I live my life in a respectful-way and believe in the 10 commandments and praise God. However the last time I went to my local church was the very last mass they had when they were closing and join another church in a town next to where we live. That was last year 2010 around September. I remember being so sad and hurt that they could actually close a church, a place of worship. How do they even do that I wondered to myself? It was a very emotional day. They had everyone walk out and the Priest tied the doors shut, while we all stood there watching with tears in our eyes. The even sadder part is that was the only church I was comfortable at, knew about and loved. It may have been the last time I ever step foot in a Catholic church.

I've heard way too much of this recently. This is from one of my college students, anonymous. It's part of a mini-essay she wrote.
