Your choice of religion is entirely in your hands. At least you made
the decision (which is not written in stone, probably) after looking
at alternatives. Unlike so many who do not even get the chance to
choose.

How do you reconcile the "rules and regulations" of Catholicism with
the world view that you formerly held as a result of your exposure to
buddhism? Is there a way of integrating the two worlds?

Curious,
