I am a follower of Christ, but one thing I notice is rule upon rule with a catholic friend, her kids are leaving the faith, but she can’t see that it is the constant focus on rule, her faith lacks genuine joy. That is not abundant living, it is misery.

Make another Catholic friend. That one is too depressing. I can’t imagine which rules you are talking about. Go to Church every Sunday? Well, that’s not too much to ask. Go to confession at least once a year? Well, examining your conscience once a year is not a huge commitment, either. Any Christian would do that.

My Catholic friends and the people I see at Mass are enjoying living their faith. Your friend can do better than she is doing.

It's bondage.
