You took time in your response to me & I am doing the same in my response to you.

Thank you!

I can't think of any other way to put it, but the Roman Catholic Church leaves me cold. I've never felt welcome or closer to God when I was in any Catholic church. For those who've found the answer there, more power to them.

I've had similar moments ... and I am Roman Catholic :-). However, the Roman Catholic (or Latin) Church as it is more properly called, is only one of 22 Churches that make up the One, Holy, Catholic Church. Jesus was a Jew, as were His mother and disciples. Christianity began in the East and spread West. It is in the Maronite Catholic Church, that I have found my spiritual home.

I've been following you around for a few months, so you didn't just tell me anything about yourself that I didn't already know. Your faith is reflected in your actions around here & it is because of you that I've considered investigating some of the other rites.
