I am a revert Catholic, left and came back. When I left I was filled with a lot of animosity and spite. I said many negative things about the Church, I made some of these folks look like pikers by comparison.

One day my BIL (Fatheroffive) began to challenge me long distance from Florida on the things I was saying.

Eventually I studied my way back into the Church.

I have never felt any animosity toward the protestants I was with when I left the Church or their faiths.

I pray that they will find their way to the Church.

And that is just how it goes former Catholics are filled with ugliness and former protestants just aren't. We have the true peace of Christ and no need to bash where we came from.

I guess there’s just no telling about people. Sometimes I’m waiting in line at the Walmart, and I look at an ordinary looking man and think, “Is he like FReeper So-and-so? How would I ever know?”

I think there are advantages to not knowing what people really think. You can imagine they’re nice. The internet takes that away. On the other hand, you can get to know marvelous people you would never get the chance to speak to in real life.
