"Then you are the sole existing RC dumb enough to have thought you were worshipping those statues."

Ever the diplomat, Polycarp. Superstitious is more the word you're looking for. And, tell the truth, if possible: Haven't you ever been in a dark church at night with only the vigil candles going and the lifesize statues on the wall kinda looking at you ... scary (FEAR - the intended effect, I'm sure).

"Obviously, Christ's Church didn't lose much when you turned your back on Him."

I was a Wretch, Polycarp. My salvation is nothing short of a miracle. Your institution doesn't miss me. That's ok. I've come home. - "Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." (Luke 15:10)

Jesus found me. I was that one lost sheep.

You weren't the only lost sheep. I never would go to church and never had read the Bible until 2 years ago, when the Father really began convicting me and teaching me things I never thought I'd be doing. It's a great feeling isn't it?

How do you react to having been edited out of the new politically-correct version of "Amazing Grace"? I suppose you take it as a personal affront that they should have deleted you by name?
