You are in a unique position, where you have changed faiths during your tenure at Free Republic.:) More and more as our government turns the screws tighter eliminating freedoms, it's important to have such a site as this one, but when the bickering takes over, nothing much can be accomplished at that time, which is unfortunate; we are all in this together. Thanks for posting! These Missionaries of Charity sisters (and their young friend taken this Easter) welcome you to the Catholic Church on the exact day you joined! (I was a Missouri Synod Lutheran for 33 years btw, and have been a Roman Catholic for 25.)
