My wife arrived in the UK as a practising Roman Catholic, and we even went to Rome soon after she arrived and she attended a mass in St Peter's. She still considers herself a catholic but has modified her views very considerably as a consequence of being exposed to the different, and more open opinions, in the UK. I am agnostic and, whilst I view all religions as historically interesting, I prefer to deal with things that can be proven rather than rely on myths and faith. As a couple we never disagree on such things and have had some good conversations about religion. My wife now regards the RC church's position in the Philippines with considerable sceptism and as a powerful negative influence on their progress.
