“Seems the RCC isn’t doing such a great job of catechizing its members”.
And that’s the precise reason you left the faith. Devout Catholics don’t jump ship. Lukewarm ones do. The ones that never believed to start with. Thanks for answering my question.
I met Jesus.
It wasn’t that I wasn’t well indoctrinated.
I met the Truth and He set me free.
Revelation 3:16-18'So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. 'Because you say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
Devout Muslims don't jump ship.
Devout Mormons don't jump ship.
Devout Satanists don't jump ship.
So what's your point.
