[T Minus Four]

When I was in 4th grade, sister drew a large ocean-liner on the blackboard and said this was the Catholic Church, and everyone on it would cruise into heaven.

Then she drew a little tiny rowboat surrounded by rough waves. This represented a protestant, who *MIGHT* make it into heaven, but the chances were slim. Only if he were very, very, very, very good AND had never really had a chance to become Catholic. Even at the age of nine, this stuck in my craw.

That and the unbaptised babies who could never go to heaven but floated around in Limbo for eternity. I NEVER bought that, even as a little kid.

still, it took me almost 50 years to do my homework and learn the truth for myself.

WOW.

You were a bright and discerning kid.

CONGRATS.
