I've tried them all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball.
I always had a problem with original sin; I always had a problem with the exclusivity of the church and a lot of the things that the nuns taught me.
It didn't seem to have relevance, except in Central America or South America, countries where the church was connected to the fight of the people for economic justice. That's why it was so interesting to find myself back with Sister Helen [in Dead Man Walking], this new breed of nuns who were making a difference in the community.
When I grew up in the church, we were praying because the Communists were going to come over and hang you upside down on a cross, and I so wanted to be a good person, and I had these rosary beads that I would sleep with every night, and I just wanted the blessed Virgin to be on my side.
