In post #23, Askel5 accused me of holding the beliefs that I do about the Vatican with no knowledge of Roman Catholicism.

So, in post # 25, I explained to him honestly, about having been born and raised Roman Catholic, as has everyone in my family, having attended parochial school, etc.

Then, in post #26, goldenstategirl accused me of lying about my own life story! So I then told the truth about the baptisms in my church. I didn't offer any editorial comments. It's just the truth! The single most common testimony in my church of people who come to know Jesus as their Savior, is that they were born and raised Catholics.

Now all of you attack the saving grace of Jesus Christ, saying that people only accept Jesus Christ as Lord in order "To get divorced". I stongly urge you not to do this.

berned, I really think you are telling the truth, and I think you genuinely believe in your faith. I am certain, however, that you were not properly raised a Catholic, through no fault of your own, or your parents. The Faith is NOT being instructed with a proper formation within what is passing for Catechism. I really believe this explains a lot, and why your friends within your church are often lapsed Catholics. They want moral absolutes, which they get within your teachings as they would get within the Catholic Church (more so in that the Church rejects, on the authority of Christ and Scripture and Tradition: divorce) they did not get proper instruction, however. Which we as the laity now, more then ever, must begin to demand! V's wife.
