In 1996, the Archdiocese of New York decided not to invite then-President Bill Clinton and his Republican challenger, Bob Dole, reportedly because Clinton vetoed a late-term abortion ban.

Veto an abortion ban? Disinvited!!

Foment an attack on our Capitol that almost ended our democracy? Invited!!

If they are, who is surprised? I think we're all aware that just because you are a professed man of God doesn't mean that you have sense, should wade into politics wearing heavy skirts or are a moral person to your core.

I used to take my niece there. She was supposed to be Catholic. But never went through confirmation. It was always her choice. I know the Hail Mary better than she ever did.

I am a Presbyterian Church member. My membership is miles away and I haven't been to a Presbyterian church in decades. Though where I was confirmed is about six miles away, I never transferred my membership back.

In college, I studied the teachings of The Buddha and learned meditation. I still meditate now.

The last organized church that I went to was for fellowship, to try to make new friends and because I liked the minister. It was a small, independent non-denominational church. Until the day they routed the entire congregation through the hallway into the business office.

I was on the way out of the door but they wouldn't let anyone leave the building until they pledged two dollar amounts, their tithe and their offering. I said that I wasn't going to do that and I left and never went back.

They went bankrupt, lost their building and I never saw or heard from the preacher that I liked so much again.

Then, I found out that I have Native American roots in the Potawatomi Tribe. I spent a year with a chief and got my name.

I am so grateful to have found and met my biological father otherwise I wouldn't have known. I only had him in my life a few years. He passed away last year. But I burn sage in his honor, chant, drum, pray and attend Pow Wows at every opportunity.

I am more at peace with the universe than I have ever been and will probably never step foot in an "organized church" again.

We all have to do what's best for us in this regard, claudette. Don't lose your spirit and stay encouraged.
