How long have you been a Catholic?
well, I was raised Catholic, baptized, first communion, confirmed. But you know, I was young, I was just going through the motions and doing what my parents wanted me to do. I believed in God, but I didn’t feel a whole lot of connection with the Church, etc…
Long story short, I became agnostic in my teens and early 20’s, never would have said I was an Atheist but I was def. anti-Christian, and looking back on it, I really do believe I was possessed by demons during this period. Became “born again”, six years ago and went to a few protestant chrurches of different denominations. never cared much about the denomination, didn’t think it really matter.
Anyway, here I am now, six years later, coming back to the Catholic Chruch. I realized how random and barren the protestant worship has become. I hadn’t even been to a service in over a year until Mass about a month ago. Luckily, I married a Catholic girl, who stayed true to the real church and never came over to the protestant side during the 51/2 years since I’ve known her. We’ve been married for 2 years.
This is a long answer to your question but I’m really excited God led me back here. I keep wanting to share everything I’m learning with a particular friend of mine, but he is very anti-Catholic, to the point of the whole anti-Christ stuff…
So about a month back into the church, and with passion and so much better understanding now. I thank God that this was His plan.
