3. I don't really believe in Heaven or the idea of immortality...

What I do know is that the trappings of the Church gave me great comfort when I was young.

I still enjoy the rituals for what they are, rituals.

What I do find comforting is having a place to go when I start questioning my own mortality.

It's nice to be part of something that traces it's start more than 2,000 years ago.

And since this Pope seems to be a part of the continuum while looking as if he is going to do something to inch the Church into the 21st century.
