A/N: This has been in my head for a couple of days now. It is just a look at each of the dectitives' religion. What they believe, how this job has changed them and their faith. I hope you like it. :)
Warning: Each chapter Faith and Religion is questioned. If that is NOT okay with you don't read. Also, I am not all the religions depicted. If I disrespected somebody and their faith, let me know and I will fix it. That was NEVER my intention. Cool? Then on with the story!

He was an Irish Catholic.
He believed in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, he believed in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.
He believes in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
He believed it all.
He did his sacraments: he was Baptized, he was Confirmed, he took his Communion, he confessed his sins, he had yet to anoint the sick, he knew he would not follow Holy Orders, but he was married… was being the imperative word.
He broke his fair share of commandments: He stole, he committed a small act of adultery, he did not always honor his mother and father, he'd killed a few men in the Marines. He'd used the Lord's name in vain, and he did not make the Sabbath holy.
But, he believed. He believed that God would make it better. He believed that the Lord was looking over his family and himself. He honestly believed this.
His faith, no doubt, had been questioned. But he pushed the thought from the mind. Everything happened for a reason. Sometimes you just couldn't see it.
Still. Every time he saw a child with tears and bruises, every time he listened to a woman recount her tale he questioned his faith.
How could a God, who was suppose to love his children, allow such a thing to happen?
But, later he'd go confess his sins. Confess his thoughts and say his prayers.
He was Catholic. Through and through.
