what is lost can never be saved

My dad says that if I'm looking for something to believe in, I should return to what is familiar to me: Roman Catholicism. And there are a lot of aspects of that religion that do still appeal to me, but just as many that frustrate me. I think that there may be too much anger, too many harsh words, too great a difference between us to make a full reconciliation possible. But I didn't burst into flames in the Vatican, and Jesus still smiles when we talk.
