>Asking this as a Lutheran from a country w/ like 10 000 Catholics, 50 000 Eastern Orthodoxxers and millions of Lutherans.

Either you're living in Germany or heaven, both means you're dead. How are you contacting the living?

> what do you think your church gives you?

As Body of Christ? Everything I need essentialy for salvation. As Bride of Christ? Everything I need spiritually.

>How does the church appear in your everyday life?

I am the Church. My family is the Church. My nation is the Church. We are immersed in it. We still understand principle of real separation of Church and state - state stays out of Church, Church says what state should do. Our children start, contuine and end thier education with Church. Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation are marks of life. Church is everywhere.

>How does the Catholic way help you in your faith?

Church as the most glorious icon of it is Hodegetria. We run narrow path and Church lays out where path is. We fail, Church help us to get up. We lost our way, Church is here to correct our errors.

I would never be Christian if not the Church.

>How does the Catholic way help you in your faith?

By actually being open for Mass every day instead of just a Sunday morning lecture hall.
