I was born into a Catholic family, went to Catholic school grades 1-12 and graduated. Went to Mass, received sacraments, etc, all those years. But have not been back to the Catholic church since 1976. I am, however, a Christian and have fellowship with a non-denominational group.
As for the second part of your comment, you can refer to the New Testament Scriptures for guidance on fornication (sex outside of marriage) and adultery. I do believe God is the Judge of all, and I try to leave the judging to Him (though I’m not always successful at that, unfortunately). But when discussing Scripture and doctrine, I try my best to stay true to what the Bible says.
Thank you for your reply. I cannot but wonder why you, a Catholic who left the Catholic faith around 18, were drawn to this thread by my post. I cannot help but think your faith community could be further categorized (Calvary Chapel, Pentecostal, etc.) if you were so inclined. I cannot also help but think it would be wonderful if you could find your way someday to a Catholic Church and make a sincere act of contrition. May it be well with you.
