May 8

My wife’s family was Catholic according to their genealogy book, and its first entry is in the year 1473.

I am a mongrel mix of central/eastern European whatever, and had the good fortune to be raised under no religion at all. Our children, as well as my wife, have joined me in the “none of the above” category. When the priest in their village had to flee due to his molesting of local children, my wife retired from religion altogether. Her parents didn’t, but were enlightened enough to understand her reason for leaving, and never tried to force her to return.
