Whether you are a “fallen away” or “non-practicing” Catholic, have converted to one of many protestant faiths, or have always been of a protestant faith and never knew the true Catholic faith, we encourage you to express and discuss your thoughts and faith beliefs in our blog.
There are many today that were raised in the Catholic faith but have separated for personal reasons or disbeliefs, but do they really know why or what they separated from? Did they really know their faith or Scripture in the first place? As one who has been there I can tell you with all confidence they did not, or the threat of death itself wouldn’t have separated them from the one Church Jesus founded with His Blood. Learn what you thought you knew but didn’t really know.
For those of another faith who were never of the Catholic Faith but have opinions based on what you have been led to believe, learn the truth.
After 25 years of separation from the Catholic faith with disbelief in some of her teachings and my own personal bias against Catholicism, I began to seek the True and complete teachings of Jesus Christ expecting to find it in some branch of Protestantism. 7 years of professional investigative research into the numerous aspects of Christianity, the origin and lineage of the Holy Bible being the one written Inspired Word of God and the deep hunger to know Christ in the most intimate relationship humanly possible led me to an unshakable conclusion and self shame of what I had denied, doubted, misjudged and criticized of the Catholic faith. What I have learned of my own ignorance I now share with those who are truly devoted to Our Lord, Jesus Christ, to the point of overcoming personal bias, willing to learn His Truth regardless of what denomination they follow and where that truth may lead. How devoted to Jesus Christ might you be?
