Sadly, the general concept of “once a Catholic, always a Catholic,” also follows other religious entities, including Islam with being born to a Muslim. Those people might kill you if you “left,” but you don't likely need to worry about that with Salvation and the others.
You know what is right and true. In that light, what others think should not matter. Continue walking in your Faith in such a way as to get the prize.
You'll not convince me of that. I view that type of person as a no-good smarmy busy-body who thinks they're somehow better than everyone else because of their jacked-up, twisted belief system.
Thankfully not all Catholics are like that type of person.
It would be nice to follow the RF rules and ping me when you are talking about me.
Thanks for your kind words.
