I just wanted to express that there are not a big bunch of people out there waiting to "come home", any more than the Heaven's Gate people's spaceships were coming from the other side of the sun to pick them up

I disagree with you hunter112. I was a fall away Catholic for over 20 years before I was called back home and I know of many others such as me.

BTW, the Roman Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ and has been around for over 2000 years. How dare you compare our Church with the insanity of Heaven's Gate...

Some will come back. I left it the first time when I was in high school, and came back about ten years later. Left again in another two years.

Would you have felt better if I had compared it to Buddhism, which precedes Christianity by about four hundred years? The point is, there are not a big fat bunch of Catholics out there that will magically come back to the RCC if they hear a few words of Latin.

In any case, I was not comparing the religions directly, but I was just talking about the chances of a return to your church of a lot of people who have moved on to something else.
