I was raised in the Catholic Church, the only one of 3 brothers that still practices (it wasn't forced on us at all). I went to a Catholic HS and was actually given the opportunity there to debate a lot of church philosophy. There, I was introduced to Aquinas.

If you're Catholic you should check out Summae Theologica (you might want to get a condensed version or a book about it since it's 26 volumes). St. Thomas Aquinas actually reconciles most of the Catholic Doctrine at that time with Aristotalian Logic. Much of his reasoning is very sound -- there's still something of a leap of faith, but I think that Aquinas makes it more tolerable.

I don't agree with 100% of what my church believes (who does?) nor would I consider myself to be a perfect Catholic.

I haven't been going to Church lately but might actually start going if I can find a job that doesn't require me to work Sundays. If I ever have kids they will definitely be raised in the church. If I get married, I'd like to have that done in the church as well.
