The Catholic Church leaves no one. Everyone is welcome. Or maybe I should say “Everyone is welcome to come back.”
I just showed a gentleman around our new church this morning. He lived nearby and watched it being built. He left the church over 20+ years ago, I surmised, and a divorce was part of the reason. I informed him of programs that we had and invited him back. I also gave him the website address and advised him to listen to some of our pastors sermons. (One of his complaints was that pastors were always asking for money.)
He assured me that he would be back.
You can come back too. Ask a priest to sit down with you and discuss your issues...get answers to your questions. You may be surprised.
I also gave this gentleman information about a healing weekend for divorced people.
God’s will be done.
publius wont reply, he’s just a posting addict who has to get on his very own soapbox 20+ or 30 times a day and fill everyone else up with his unsolicited opinions.
the Republican party is politics, and political science teaches that a political party has to swing or sway towards the electorate. I.E. the Republican Party has and does change to accomodate the culture.
The Catholic Church being the only institution that doesnt sway or change to accomodate the culture, the thinking of the age. Its doctrines and teachings have not changed one bit.
