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.
The imputability or responsibility for an action can be diminished or nullified by ignorance, duress, fear, and other psychological or social factors. If they were truly foolish or feeble then they will be forgiven. If they were never devout they were never really Catholics to begin with.
I am happy to state that through God's leading in my search for truth, I have moved miles away from the Catholic Church and closer to the Lord. It was by reading the Gospel for myself and God's Spirit illuminating his truth of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
