I seem to run into nothing but fallen away Catholics. 😦 They don’t seem to understand that just joining another denomination isn’t a viable alternative when things don’t go “their way”. There’s only One Way. it’s not my way or their way. It’s His Way. Please pray that they understand what the Church truly is and come back home. :grouphug:
 
Hail Mary,
Full of grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
And Blessed is the Fruit of thy womb
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
I will pray - don’t lose hope. There are also many converts out there (“technically” I understand they aren’t called “converts” so much as being reconciled to the church. There are also alot of “reverts” out there - and I am one. Sometimes it takes many years - but people do come back. It starts out with many different reasons…for me it was The Eucharist. After being brought up with the Eucharist - after awhile a piece of bread and grape juice handed out like it’s just a symbol - really doesn’t “cut it”.
Also - I found the idea of sola scriptura illogical with the help of many great Catholic apologitists…
We all need to keep praying…I also think (and this has been mentioned on EWTN as well) that many Catholics are not well catechised - and I was definitely one of those - brought up in the late 60’s and mostly through the 70’s - we didn’t learn some of the deeper things of our faith…mostly we were just told to be good and love people.

Certainly I will pray for them. May they return to Mother Church.

EWTN and Real Catholic TV.com is really good too. They both teach that a good many Catholics are not well catechised. and so are easy prey for non-Catholic religions.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
