So, never once in all those years, in those schools, in those classrooms, from all of those teachers (priests and nuns), and in all those sermons at Mass, this guy is claiming he was never once told “Jesus died for our sins”?
He’s a liar.

Perhaps he’s just a very poor student. I don’t believe for an instant that he was prevented from reading a bible during his years in school....what would have been the point. I do believe that he was taught the Catholic interpretation of the scriptures, but that’s because the Catholic church teaches that they are to be considered the authorities on biblican interpretation, and that we are not all free to interpret the bible to our own ends. There are many thousands of protestant denominations based mostly on individual interpretations and most of them slightly differ from each other...sad
I know a lot of these stories do not ring true.
How about this He figured it all out at sixteen.
"And leave I did. At sixteen, though convincingly devout, I knew this heritage was slipping like sand through my fingers. I had no safe grounds for believing this dogma, and would no longer do so."
What does the word Devout mean to this sixteen year old? LOL!
