This post is useless stuff. The author is no historian, scholar, and theologian. Just another individual choosing to change religions. There have been many who have reconverted back to the Catholic Church. In short, this is is just one person’s story who has not been properly grounded in Catholic theology. There is the Catholic Church and then there is every other Christian heresy under the sun from Jim Jones and David Koresh to the vapid musings of Billy Graham, and Joel Osteen

“not been properly grounded in Catholic theology”.

Nor discernment. God can console but the evil spirits can give a false consolation. The world around us and our own flesh (desires, ideas) can deceive us and make us think they’re the voice of God.

I once saw a couple on TV with crosses around their necks talking about how God “led” them through the in-vitro fertilization process. He didn’t lead them through a process involving masturbation and dead human embryos. They did their own will and projected in onto God. Sorry for their cross of infertility (not unconnected sometimes to years of contraceptive use; another grave evil so many of Christ’s followers erroneously think he’s okay with because they’re deceived by the devil and dominated by the world), but not every idea that pops into our head nor every good feeling is the voice of God.
