Catholicism doesn't surprise me at all, m'dear. The ritual has much the same flavor that you grew up with as well as being the only Xian religion that has a major female icon of worship.

May I suggest also looking at Episcopalianism as well? There's less of the blind-faith thing going with the Episcopalians.

Go and explore. Most worship centers are happy to have you (though they'll *all* try to recriut you) and explain what you may not understand.

good luck, honey!
