So I have debated posting this question publically for some time and I guess the real answer can only be given by a priest but…
What advice might you give a person whom is a catholic by baptisim, and was till he was 10, and then his mother (Being the main religious force in the family) has an evangelical revelation thanks to Pat Robertson from the 700 club that the catholic faith is dead, and everything I had been taught from day 1 was wrong… Force fed the noisy dancing in the isles, arms waving, speaking in tongues for another 6 years afterward essentially killed the church and any interest in following my faith for many years afterward.
I realize what she did was from her heart, and wanting to direct me in the best direction, but I feel she did more dammage than good, because when you believe one thing, and then are told to reverse directions, not always the easiest thing to do.
So here I am 30 years later- And old&wise enough to know that the catholic of his youth is still alive and well, but totally unsure what direction to proceed?
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum, I couldn’t figure out where to go from here.
