I thought Ben was Christian though. I mean the CD is named after his favorite joke.

"How do you make God laugh?" "Make plans."

Hmm. Beautiful song though.

He is, (Catholic) but this song is for professing his love to someone. He's saying he loves her so much, he'd spend eternity just grasping her hand in a dark room, comforting her. This song incredibly beautiful, it's one of those bittersweet songs you just can't deny.

It is posible to be Catholic and not go to, or to leave, a Catholic school. It is also very possible to go to a Catholic school and not be Catholic, so I do not believe that is much of a question. I believe in his statement of leaving Catholic school is about leaving the belief of the nun, rather than the belief of the religion, if that makes sens.

However, I must agree, this song is beautiful, and becomes even more beautiful each time I hear it or read the lyrics.

If everyone were just spiritual and kept their beliefs to themselves instead of throwing them up all over government and such, then this world would be a better place. Catholicism, like all organized religion, is a disease...sometimes it's dormant and may even seem like it doesn't affect you at all, but when it does it causes complete and utter chaos.
