**I’m a former Catholic,**
No such thing as a former Catholic — UNLESS you filled out piles of paperwork and had a hearing in front of a panel.
You are still a Catholic and we welcome you home at any time.
Many churches have Returning Catholics classes and I am sure you would be most welcome. Our program is entitled, “Catholics Can Come Home Again.”
I wouldn’t go back to the Catholic Church on a bet! I stopped being a Catholic when I realized the travesty that the Catholic church had become! That was 38 yrs ago. I assume you’re saying there are no ex-catholics just as the Muslims say to their forced converts that they’ll always be Muslims? Fortunatly,I found my Saviour, Jesus Christ, and began a relationship with Him, rather than cling to a faction(or order) of priest. When I was young,I was forbidden to read the Scriptures on my own. You quasi-spirituals are so full of the “institution” of religion that you’re missing the Man who died for your sins! Salvation is not belonging to a Club by birth or Baptism...it’s giving upi your life to live as Christ lived. He is the object of our Affection and the Ruler of our lives! If you miss this..your ‘good works’ and vain machinations will be for naught!
