You are not...
...a Catholic poster boy.  Nor am I a poster Friar.  I wrote the Darkside precisely because I -- and you -- like many others grope in the dark.  Thanks for the comment.

Friar Tuck,
very interesting life story, I am impressed. Catholicism hasn't been my bag in life, however, I was baptized Catholic, still attend mass sporadically, and I wrestle with it all. Mainly I am a sober alcoholic of 36 years sobriety, that has lived a huge anger at/with the church, but, I have come to grips with it, only to keep on wrestling with it. Of course I am much older than you are, but I have great respect for what you have done with your life. In a way we are brother Friars, I am a widower, living alone, who lost his greatest love on March 9, 2000 to a brain tumour. Joyce and I were married 16 years, both married in the church after divorce and 2 annulments. Like I'm not your Catholic poster boy. Happy day
