Which is a big problem in the modern Church. We are called to be Christ like except when it comes to salvation and warning against satan, sin and hell which Christ also did.
 
The Eastern Orthodox has the Sacrament of Confession.Anglicans have it on request even though Catholics consider it invalid. He can talk to Anglicans about it and obtain their opinion.
 
God bless you. Just to say your mom didnt chose you to be Catholic, God did, she merely did his will, so she need not feel guilty and neither should you. Your soul was created at the beginning of time along with all souls and it was made so then, whatever you chose to be now won’t change that, but God is merciful and loves you very much. May God’s peace be with you.
 
I was wondering, do you believe in the bible? If you don’t then there is no ecclesial community that will make you happy because most have at least some basis in the bible.

If you do believe in the bible then it would be a grave mistake, maybe the worst mistake you will ever make. In the bible Jesus tells the first bishops (the apostles, not all His followers) “If they deny you then they deny Me. If they reject you then they reject me and Him who sent me.” Think about it long and hard it’s a matter of life and death (spiritually).
 
Maybe you have to leave to realise what you had. Just remember that every other Christian church is a splinter of the Catholic Church (or a splinter of a splinter). I pray God will lead you back in time when you have discovered your answers.

There is no salvation outside the Catholic Church. You’re leaving the Church Jesus Christ founded for heresy.

I’m sorry but religion isn’t a giant smorgasbord where you go “hmm, I like that religion, no, wait, I disagree with the theology on that one, ooh, wait here’s one I really like, I’ll go with that one!” No, the Catholic Church is the one true Faith, the truth, and the only Church founded by Jesus Christ All other churches were founded by men and their egos.

You are also Catholic by your baptism and nothing will ever change that.

By rejecting Christ through His Church you risk going to hell…

I think it possible that the Church he has said he has chosen might be what he wants.
 
That’s actually the problem. What “he” has chosen.

We need to choose what God has chosen not something else. The fact that it’s easier, more in line with our current culture, less conservative, etc.should be a huge tip-off that we are going the wrong way.

I have been a member of these forums for a pretty long time. Many of you have given me advice, some I listened to and some I didn’t. People have gotten frustrated with me as I seemed to have an answer for everything. Just know, I was equally frustrated with you too. 🙂

However, and it’s been a couple years of contemplating and deep thought, I have come to the realization that the Catholic church is not the church that I want to be part of. There is just too much I disagree with and it’s the kind of disagreement that cannot be explained away. I have often said, and not just here, but elsewhere that if I was given a choice I would have never been Catholic and would have chosen another denomination. My mom has regretted baptizing me Catholic as an infant because she realizes now that she took an important choice in my life away from me and sees me trying to be a good Catholic, but not being able to because those disagreements.

I am still looking for a church to belong to. It will be a liturgical church as that is the type of worship I prefer. I have attended the Lutheran church, but it is still too conservative for me. My girlfriend is Episcopalian and that is probably where I will go and lay down roots. I have been to many of their services and enjoy them. They are closer in line to what I believe and there are fewer disagreements to be had.

So thank you all for putting up with me.

Not sure what else I can say beyond, see you in Heaven some day!

To be blunt, you sound like someone who decided to get divorced because their spouse had become ‘meh’.

They needed to be free to find their TRUE LOVE

A good marriage takes hard work, just like building a relationship with God.
The Church you attend is not your problem. I don’t think you will find what you are looking for.

Maybe you know longgreywolf better than I do. But in this thread he didn’t go into detail about his disagreements.

If God hasn’t enlightened him… maybe this is his path.

If he has refused to cooperate with God… maybe this is his path.

Hello lonegreywolf,
First off congratulations in your decision to go out and look for the fellowship that is best for you.
Your mother shouldn’t regret baptizing you as a Catholic. Can you imagine what it would have been like as a child and not have a religious organization that you could identify with. Some parents are concerned about the beliefs of children that there children play with. As a bonus you were given a basic understanding of Christian theology.
 
One cannot reason with others in this matter.

No, a mere majority of agreements as opposed to disagreements is fine.
