I feel like agreeing with my wife regarding something that happened today, but I wonder how hypocritical it would be.
Today was her granduncle's one year remembrance service at her cousin's home (no idea how to say this in English, he's been dead for a year and they had this thing to keep the memory alive/pray for him), and ma petite was a bit hurt that her cousin (his granddaughter) and her boyfriend locked themselves in one of the bedrooms because it was a Buddhist service and they're born-again Christians. Although I feel like taking her side - I missed them as well - we usually go to church whenever there's a celebratory mass for a deceased member of my family, but I wait by the door/on the stairs because I've got some scars from being raised Catholic myself.
So, even though I feel "not being from the same religion" is hardly a good reason not to attend, the consequences are pretty much the same... we all wait outside, full stop.
Any problems with this line of thought?
