Carmen,

I think that if you would have investigated the history and the truths of the Catholic church, you never would have left. I suspect if you let your newfound faith lapse again that you’ll fall prey to the “next thing that comes along.”

Carmen,

How well you expressed the feelings and fears of all God’s children when we stray in our in our commitments to gather in worship as we were raised. My childhood religion was Southern Baptist! When I left those surroundings I too initially did not attend, then felt guilty, then sought, then found my greatest comfort in a non-denominational Christian church. I have moved several times since–changing states and homes while keeping the same faith. We are blessed to serve a patient and loving God who allows us to search and return. HIS peace, DMc

Great article. You hit the nail on the head with the Catholic guilt. I have really enjoyed other churches and feel that the connection with God that you spoke of is the more important focus. God Bless you on your journey. — Another Lapsed Cradle Catholic

Hi:

I too am a “cradle Catholic”, although I had never heard it termed that way. And, as with you, I have never looked back once I was embraced by our Presbyterian Church. Now I am a candidate for ministry of Word and Sacrament. It is quite a spiritual journey you can take once you make that conncetion with God.
