    No. If I did I'd only feel like I was taking the seat of someone who wanted it more.

    I went to mass every week for 20 years and stopped one Sunday when a priest on the alter, lectured us about relationships and womens role in the family.

    Im not going to be lectured by someone that will spend nore of his time lecturing to us about something they know nothing about, his time would be better served sppeaking out against why the catholic church is a Haven for pedophiles and why the church refuses to hand up or report these creatures.

    I would rather listen to Sinn Feinn giving me a lecture on economic policy than listen to a preist lecture me about morality.

    Nope.

    I will only ever be in a church for weddings/funerals/christenings, and then I stand at the back and do not take part in any way, shape or form.

    Its the greatest con of all time.

    I haven't been to regular mass since 1993. Only for weddings and funerals since then.

    I don't know anyone who does go either, if somebody I did know went I'd probably think they were a bit weird, but it would be their business not mine.

    According to the Irish Times poll today 32% of people go to mass weekly, in urban areas its 25% and 52% in rural areas. Only 15% of 18-34 year olds go to mass weekly (12% for 15-34 year olds which I think may even exaggerate the number). That is a massive fall off in a relatively short space of time and is bringing close to the continental European average. Given how rapidly the numbers are falling we may end up with Scandavian levels of religious observance around 2-3%. The strange thing is 89% of people still described themselves as Catholic, only 5% as athiest / agnostic.
