Frequently Asked Questions

Why are you doing this?
There are plenty of reasons to go to church.  But what I'm missing the most is this protected, quiet hour of the week where everything just seems to make sense.  After that, I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but I'm pretty sure I'll find it.  Weird, huh?

Is this a bet?
No.  No money will exchange hands over this project.  Now if you're talking about my immortal soul...

Do you think this will get you into heaven?
Absolutely not.  At best, I looking at some extended time to think about blogging in purgatory.

Are you only going to Catholic churches?
Yes.  I'm searching for my Catholic identity.  Maybe the blog continues next year.

Is this about meeting men?
No.  How would that even work?

Are you writing a book?
I wasn't planning out it, but it turns out having a blog is fun.  Wouldn't it be awesome if I got an e-mail from America magazine?

Where are you willing to travel to?
Anywhere within reason, likely kept to driving distance.

Do you get a lot of suggestions?
Surprisingly no.  I know a lot of people who are good at ignoring me.   Or who don't go to church either. Or who are just holding out on me.  I want to know what's out there, good, bad or otherwise.  Is there a guilty pleasure church?  A lector who sounds like James Earl Jones? Liturgical dancers?  Tipsters are guaranteed anonymity.
