The poor old fools don't even realize that after all of this time and effort they have not budged one Catholic one inch further away from the Catholic Church or themselves one inch closer to God.
They have seduced the weak and the foolish to the dark side. There are several here who brag of causing sheep to leave the fold of Jesus in favour of their own particular shepherd. Yet, there are many on here who have given their own stories of how it was through adversity or through examples of Catholic faith, that they finally put aside family and friends, gave it all up, and followed Christ, as He instructed us. They took up their cross and followed Him. I am humbled to see the extent of their own sacrifice. They exemplify the commands of Christ more than I.
