To start off, let me just say that I'm scared stiff of writing this character's religion.
I have little experience with Catholicism, despite hailing from a city famous for its strong Catholic roots. Both my parents were raised Catholic, but left the denomination and became Protestant. I know how to make the sign of the cross, used to be able to recite maybe one Hail Mary, and can only manage to follow along (or at least pretend I can) when I attend Mass with my Catholic extended family. That's the extent of my knowledge.
My character is Irish Catholic, but he's kind of a casual observant. He probably only goes to Mass on holidays. I'm not sure how to write his attitude toward religion, since I don't know the Catholic perspective. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
