Believe me, I know what mass is like.

Been there, done that.

When I first came to Christ and accepted Him as my personal (not group) Lord and Savior, and was born again, I went back to the Catholic church since that was where I had been raised. And I STARTED reading the Bible. After all, Catholics just didn’t do that.

After all, I was taught my whole life that it was a sin to go to a non-Catholic church. But few months there and I started to see the difference between what Scripture taught and the Catholic church taught.

And I do know about Catholicism. Two priests and a nun in the family ensured that.

how very sad for you....you didn't read the bible because you ASSUMED , for whatever reason, that Catholics don't do that......they do

you should listen to the priests and nuns in your family....they are right and you are in error...notice I didn't say "wrong" but you have given up the completeness of Catholic Christianity for some man made "feel good" interpretation of various portions of the bible and Christian tradition. It is very sad to witness such a situation. We, unfortunately see much of the same effect in our country politically....grab one or two ideals of being an American and ignore the rest because some misguided soul convinced you that he/she is right and the founding fathers were misguided.....a perfect analogy.
