    To mods

    I am an atheist but I would ask for your assistance to qualify what a catholic actually is. I have a few questions. Thanks for your patience.

    How often to attend church
    How often should they pray
    How much money should they donate to christian issues or the church
    Should they volunteer

    How many people here in Ireland are only catholic by way of a cert from the church, but in reality are not religious in any way.

    Please ask other questions or issues I have not considered.

    Thank you.

    Do you have sex before marriage?
    Do you use any non church approved contraception?
    Do you believe that the communion wafer actually turns into the flesh of Christ and the wine into the blood, not that it represents it, but actually physically (without any apparent change or evidence obviously) changes into his body and blood?
    Do you agree with the church attempting to limit the availability of condoms in countries being ravaged by HIV & AIDS?
    Do you think, given his involvement in the child rape cover up, that the pope is fit to hold the office that he does?

    What is the problem with my questions? The status of the catholic church in Ireland is a very important subject. Teh church claims a very large percentage of the population to be catholic. I would argue that anyone that answers yes to my first two questions and no to the remainder is not a catholic, and I would hazard that "proper" catholic would, if they were being honest, agree.
