I was sure you had written somewhere that you were born into a Catholic family, baptized, received first communion, confirmed, and then later went off into other denominations or sects. Did I confuse you with some other woman ? IIRC, you made a point of asserting you were not poorly catechized. If one does have Catholic parents who still attend mass, it would be a mitzvah (good deed) to show them the love, honor, and respect of taking them to mass occasionally. The scripture that permeates the mass will do one no harm, and if God and your conscience does not allow you to do all that Catholics do, that's okay too. Not a sermon, just a thought. -- Lon Solomon
Partially correct. I was born, baptized, and raised a Catholic. However, I did not go off into other denominations or sects.
I found forgiveness through Christ and was born again.
Religious affiliation has nothing to do with it.

I don't. They both died relatively young over 20 years ago.

Scripture permeates my heart and mind daily as I read it, memorize it, and meditate on it.
I would NEVER go back to as little Scripture as I had as a Catholic. Why would I want to spiritually starve myself instead of freely feasting on the word at my leisure?
