When the sense of obligation left with Vatican II, many took their freedom and ran. The belief in a belief in God was less necessary in families and society. When I was a boy, we lived with my Grandmother. Our Uncle, Aunt and Cousins lived down the street and we all talked about who we saw at Mass. I don't live down the street from my siblings and no one is making them go, so they don't. Two of my siblings married Catholics. They still don't go (and the gay Catholic couple stopped because they were made to feel unwelcome). I mostly go. My ex-wife goes each week with my daughter because they live with her mother. She is moving out in two weeks. I doubt Mass will stay on the agenda, at least during the summer. Is this hedonistic or anti-religious or is it just honest?
