>The term apostasy is used by sociologists to mean the renunciation and criticism of, or opposition to, a person's former religion, in a technical sense, with no pejorative connotation.
Nice dubs by the way.
I just wanted to note that it has been really hard for Catholics to apostasize ever since we got the latest pope. Normally we would just deviate one inch from dogma and we would be out on our ears. Now we can reject any detail of Catholicism and the pope says we're cool and he won't judge us. What the heck do we have to do to get excommunicated around here?
