Thank you.

I needed this article as I heard today on the news that the Catholic Church has the highest number of people who change to other churches. I don’t know why, except that the Catholic faith is not for wimps!

**the Catholic faith is not for wimps!**

This is true. Built on faith and love of Jesus Christ, it calls us to imitate his life of suffering. Not everyone wants to go there.

There are other things that keep people away, but I think the fear of suffering like Jesus did is one of the primary ones.

That is because the Catholic Church has the highest number of active Christians of any other. I’ve only been Catholic and I’ve seen quite a few leave but guess what...I see a lot of them running back too.
