Zone1 can we talk about our family backgrounds in religion?

[Zebra]

could be interesting to see what our grandparents were.

 

[Zebra]

my four grandparents were all Catholic

 

[EvilCat Breath]

My biological father was Quaker. My mother's family were all Jews. I never heard about any religion from my step-dad. I was raised in a totally religion free household.

I am a Christian.

That about covers it.

Baptist and Mennonites

Most were believers but not church goers. They all were considered wild people and law breakers.

 

[Mr Natural]

My father was Jewish, mother was Catholic.

Raised Catholic and went as far as confirmation before dropping out.

 

[Zebra]

we already see an interesting mixture!

 

[Zebra]

in our small town about 95% were Catholics

 

[Hafar1014]

My grandfather was a Druid and my grand mother was Zoroastrian

My father, abandoned by HIS father at the age of 7 and raised in an orphanage, was of no particular ethnic or religious background. DNA sites say his family were the classic mixed bag, from Great Britain and eastern Europe. My mother came from an enthusiastic and proud Irish Catholic tradition, and my father went along with it. My four sibs and I all went to RC parochial schools, 1-12 grades (kindergarten not offered).

Next generation has enthusiastically rejected not only Catholicism but religion altogether, although they make the pretense with weddings, funerals, and baptisms. I find that aspect of it to be nauseating.

I and my surviving sibs are all married for well over 50 years, still go to church faithfully and participate to a moderate extent in Catholic stuff. Kids are mostly single and/or divorced. Apparently Grandma Kennedy's Irish Catholicism was not hereditary.

You have my condolences. (Just kidding!)

My grandparents were not overly religious Baptists in rural KY.

just talk about your grandparents

"in religion" is a religion in itself ... desert vs all others vs political discretion - is hand in hand, coequal.
