Catholicish

Jews are Jewish; Catholics can be Catholic-ish. 

Raised Catholic?  Culturally Catholic but not a "devout" Catholic?  Spiritual, kinda?  Do you believe some parts of the Old Testament, and many parts of the New Testament?  Groan when you read the latest writhings [sic] of the Vatican?  Enjoy a little frisson at a Pope Francis?  (Francis! As if!)  Does Vatican dogma against gays and women not hunt for you? Do you believe "Catholic" is the community of believers, not the hierarchy? 

Maybe you are Catholicish.  Embrace it!
