Take heart Brian. Many of us who walked away are treading back.

Thanks Katnip. Its just hard being the only one of five children still practicing the faith. Two siblings are now agnostic, one is attending a fundie church with her husband, and one is just a typical Sunday Catholic for whom the faith means little.

But I just got a wonderful Freepmail last nighht. I don't think the author would mind if I shared it anonimously:

Dr. Brian,
Last night I was finally confirmed into the True Faith. I believe, with all my heart, the Holy Spirit used the words of your postings to bring me back into Christ's Church. You and your beautiful family are always in my prayers. Hope all of you had a blessed Easter.

In His Love,
