What I mean to say is that if you \u201cleft\u201d because after your parents had you baptized they never set foot in a Catholic church again, your story is just as interesting as that of the person who consciously left, as an adult.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/amywelborn.typepad.com\/openbook\/2007\/02\/why_did_you_com.html#comments\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">more! more!<\/a><br><strong><\/strong><br><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinecon.blogspot.com\/\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cinecon<\/a>:<\/strong> Victor is doing his year\u2019s-best list, and it\u2019s pretty fascinating.
