So tomorrow is Christmas Eve and my (Catholic) family will be going to mass. I, however, am no longer a practicing Catholic and have not been for many years. (I am 26, and haven’t regularly attended mass since I was about 20.) Recently, I have come to realize that I most likely will not re-join the Catholic Church. My question is should I attend mass with my family? I would not enjoy or appreciate the service and would only be attending out of respect to my family. I hate doing things strictly out of a sense of obligation, but this is my family. On the other hand, maybe it’s time to "cut the apron strings" so to speak. I also do not want to give my family members false hope that one day I will rejoin the church. Any advice would be appreciated!
