We welcome you home at any time. You are always a Catholic. There’s no “former” to it. You may be an inactive Catholic right now, but once baptized, you are always a Catholic.
well, thank you... i am good friends with another gal who is now a practicing Protestant—she too was raised in the Catholic faith... and our Catholic upbringing is such a bond between us... there is so much about it that we both love and miss... whenever any Protestants say something negative about the Catholic church, we come to its defense... i would not be surprised if one or both of my sons become Catholic someday... i’ve taken them a few times in the last few years on Good Friday... our local Catholic church has the most wonderful Good Friday service...
