As some of you may have seen, I have made a few posts here asking some questions about returning to the Church. However it has come to my attention that I never was actually Catholic. I contacted the Church that I thought that I had attended as a child to see if they had records of my baptism/confirmation so that I could have them for when I talked to a priest on Friday. After a conversation with one of the women who work there, she said that there were no records of any of this happening.
She did say she remembers me from when I was a child, and that I did go to church on most Sundays, however I was never baptized or anything, because my parents wouldn’t allow it, but I still insisted on coming to church.
Here in lies the issue that I need prayers for. I suffer from a disorder called schitzoeffective disorder (and I have been without medication for a long time) and as such I am prone to create and believe delusions, often of a paranoid nature, but not this time. So basically I was never baptized, never had my first confession or communion, never was confirmed, and I pretty much just made it all up in my head, and believed it.
This makes me wonder weither the horrible sins I have commited are real or not, or if they too are just a creation of an ill mind. So I am not sure what to tell the priest on Friday, but I suppose pure honesty is best.
I ask that you pray for me to find clarity, through the grace of God. I also apologize for possibly decieving (though unintentional) other posters on this forum.
Thank you.
