As many of you know I have had my share of ups and downs in my life. Growing up Catholic and then after Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped then returned home becoming a Mormon, after three weeks of being baptized Mormon I became a Catholic again but felt disconnected and returned for a short time to the Mormon Church. I had my temple recommend to go to the temple to baptize for the dead but I never got it. I left a week later… I blamed it on family pressure and just seeking. I returned to the Catholic Church and realized I should really go to a Catholic College and major in Theology. It was a rewally awesome road. I learned so much about the bible and my faith. I also looked at Major world religions and even went out of my comfort zone and attended a Synogoge, Mosque and a free Church. After visiting the free evengelical church I knew that would not be where I would ever worship. It was just this semester I started feeling disconnected from the Catholic Church. I wondered why I was always having these periods of wanting to leave but never fully leaving. I have thought I admit of going back to the LDS (mormon) church but I never go in the doors. Something stops me. I feel sometimes as though I should go to a Lutheran or another Christian denomanation… again somthing stops me. I know now it is the euchorist and the Catholic Church I long for in my life. The feelings I get at church can’t compare. Honestly though I think my eyes are finally opened. I was going througha box in the basement of all my childhood stuff and it had my baptismal gown (the one from when I was a baby not the Mormon gown) and my program to my confirmation. I couldn’t help it I cried. I loved my Catholic faith since I was a young girl. I feel like now today I am finally home and will never turn away. For all of those here who have e-mailed and chatted with me through my struggles I thank you so much- you are my angels and I love you. I am HOME!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!! :extrahappy:

I never noticed on the main page to Catholic Answers until the this last week the Angels looking at Mary and baby Jesus :angel1:

Hi Patty, God is taking care of you. I am glad you have found the peace you have been searching for.

The main page changed not too long ago, so the pic is relatively new. It is a beautiful picture. 🙂

It is the Eucharist sister, NOBODY can take that away from you!!!

Its good to see you home, may God Bless you:)
 
Mormonism is very attractive because the people seem so nice. Unfortunately, it’s totally fraudulent – I learned that and left after 32 years in that organization. I was baptized Catholic three years ago and could never be happier with my religious choice! I would never be willing to give up the body and blood of Christ for bread and water. Look at the thread I started today about Native American ancestry – it’s obvious the Native Americans aren’t descended from people from the Middle East. The entire Smith-Rigdon movement has been exposed.
