I am very happy and proud to say that I grew up as a non Catholic Christian. I didn’t join any denomination but attended many, including Southern Baptist, 4 square Gospel, Nazorine, Pentecostal and many more. I was read bible stories on my Grandfathers lap and learned to pray at my Grandma’s knee.
When I was sick my Unity mom and Christian Science aunt prayed over me.
I learned from my grandparents what it is to be truly Christlike. They lived a life of love, without gossip, enemies or any kind of backbiting. Well almost, Grandpa was a Democrat to his bones
(back when honor and integrity were valued more in politics) and he was Irish. He had a bit of a grudge against the English.
I converted to Holy Mother Church 50 years ago and will die a Catholic. I value all the beautiful things I grew up with and value the the Full Treasure of Truth in Holy Mother Church.
