You haven’t read much of Scripture, have you?

After leaving the Catholic Church, I read the Bible completely through twice. I also read the Gospels and several of the Epistles (in some cases passages and other cases the complete "books"). I've also read through the old testament books of prophecy (same way...).

I don't recall ever reading about the Lord commanding us to desecrate corpses. I do recall, however, on one occasion, seeing one of Buddha's finger bones displayed in a jeweled box.

So it sounds like you are a baptized Catholic. Unless you had a hearing in front of a panel and filled out lots of paperwork, you are still a Catholic.

I’ve read the Bible too, so Catholics are learned too? OK?

On the saints, I have a question for you. Do you ever ask someone (a friend, a spouse, a parent) to pray for you? I’ll bet you have!

That’s what Catholics do when praying to the saints. We ask them to pray for us.

Another question. Have you ever viewed an incorruptible body? It is stunning and soul moving. You might consider doing that for your own education.

If you don't mind me asking...what took you so long?
