Things you miss slightly about being Catholic (though not enough to go back)

1. people saying "pray for me" all the time. Sweet and humble. especially when you are a child and the person saying it is very important.

1. lurid tchotchkes with lush, strawberry-like sacred hearts, completely unironically given and received.

1. Having a mob of dead relatives keeping an eye out for you and looking after you from beyond the grave.

God, I love a good Holy medal and Cemetery Sunday.

I have no real fear of death and my kids have been to funerals, graveyards etc.

We still go to mass, well I do with the kids every so often. I think I was sniffily called a cultural Catholic a while back
