I was well taught and was actually a leader in my diocese. Then one day the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the grace of God ... I wanted to stay catholic, I had ministries I loved, friends I loved and some degree of"position ". My family kept talking to me about tradition .
But one by one God showed me the errors in Catholic doctrine and eventually I had to leave if i was to be true to God and myself
Is that what you truly think?
PS, you are not ALLOWING Catholics to do anything. You have no control over anyone's Catholicism, except perhaps to drive us more deeply into our faith.
It can be precarious to consider oneself a “leader”, or someone with “position”.
It has the possibility of leading someone where they are better off not to go.
“The most difficult thing in this world to do is to be an absolute nobody”
—quote from a character in a work by J. D. Salinger
I’m not a fan of Salinger, but even Salinger can be right at times. He was right with that quote.
St. Paul understood this.
But one by one God showed me the errors in Catholic doctrine and eventually I had to leave if i was to be true to God and myself
PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR INTEGRITY TO GOD!
PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR INTEGRITY TO SCRIPTURE.
PRAISE GOD FOR YOUR INTEGRITY TO YOURSELF.
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
