Introduction :
It is my objective and endeavour to bring Ex-Catholics back to the Catholic Church in 2015 as well as in 2016. I intend to achieve this through "Catholic Classics".
What I mean is this -- I want Catholics who have left the Catholic Church to read awesome and amazing "Catholic Books" posted on my Catholic Blog.
Many Catholics in India specially in "Metro Cities" have left the Catholic Church and have joined "Non - Denominational Churches".
Most of them are unaware of "Catholic Classics" which encompass and explain the beautiful Catholic Faith.
In Cities like Mumbai in Maharashtra, Panjim and Margao in Goa, Bangalore in Karnataka, and Chennai in Tamil Nadu Catholics have left the Church for a variety of reasons; mostly for monetary reasons but some have also left because of animosity with Priests, or Nuns, or Bishops.
Let me tell you my personal story with regard to "Catholic Classics" and how they changed my life forever.
In Mid- 2012, 3 years back, I was quite angry with Catholic Priests because of negative experiences I had with them while growing up in Mumbai.
In the latter half of 2012, while surfing the "Net" for Catholic Websites I came across a beautiful, outstanding, and extra-ordinary Catholic Website called "E-Catholic 2000"-- "Catholics for the Third Millenium".
Once, I entered this amazing website I happened to stumble across four Catholic Classics--
1) Calvary and the Mass.
2) True Devotion to Mary.
3) Secret of the Rosary.
4) Secret of Mary.
After reading these 4 Catholic Classics over a number of months - I lost all animosity I may have had against Catholic Priests in Mumbai or anywhere else.
I promise you that when you read these 4 books, you will be changed forever and will fall in love with the Catholic - Christian Faith instantly as I did.
These are 4 Books, that positively changes lives and souls.
Read them and you will never be sorry that you visited my "Catholic Blog" accidentally or purposely.
These "Catholic Classics" proudly promote Jesus Christ as the "Centre of our Faith".
The Catholic Church is more than 2000 years old. Let us never forget that.
These Catholic Classics present to us the vibrant Catholic Faith as it has been through the centuries.
Conclusion :
No one will ever regret reading "Catholic Books" @ my blog. These Catholic Books help to build one up in the faith and help to strengthen one about the truths of the Catholic Faith.
I strongly recommend 4 Catholic Classics to Catholics who have left the Church and who might visit my Catholic Blog in the future.

Anything else is sand.
I find it strange that Rome; that assembled the Book for us; feels it has to ADD stuff to it.
Not virtually; of course; but by it's practices.
The REAL question is...
...why did Mary???
More, good FJS stuff:
"A Plea For Intolerance" (1931)Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience toward evil ... a forbearance that restrains us from showing anger or inflicting punishment.Tolerance applies only to persons ... never to truth.America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance — it is not.It is suffering from tolerance.Tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos.Our country is not nearly so overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded.Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive.They are too often praised for being broadminded when they are so broadminded they can never make up their minds about anything.
As quoted in Seven Words to the Cross (1979) by Ellsworth Kalas, page 93.
It points out that most Catholics are NOT of the Berean frame of mind.
Rome put it together: blame HER for the lack.
I feel your sadness.
It rings of sincerity.
I stated that:
“No, my kids don’t belong to me.”
Exactly, but if you’re a good mother you offer them up to the Lord for His purposes and His will. Mary did.
Elsie, apparently desperate to get in the conversation.
“Rome put it together: blame HER for the lack.”
You contradict yourself and you apparently don’t even know it.
“You may have read them but based on your comments you certainly didn’t comprehend them.”
I read them and do comprehend them And, again, you’re read how many of them as of now? But you’ll attack them anyway and even go so far as to claims someone who HAS read them doesn’t comprehend them. Go ahead. Tell me how many of these books you’ve read and when did you read them?
Hope you’re staying dry. Any damage from that typhoon?
Now they claim they gave everyone an “inspired table of contents”? Since when is a list of the books that Almighty God gave to humanity also considered as inspired as the writings themselves??? Yet...with their inclusion of UNINSPIRED books NO ONE saw as from the Holy Spirit, into the canon of the Old Testament, Roman Catholicism proved conclusively that they are NOT led by the Holy Spirit.
God’s word contains the whole truth of the Christian faith and anyone who claims they are above it or in charge of it or the author of it brings condemnation onto their heads and judgment from the TRUE author and finisher of our faith.
I person does not leave Catholicism. They are always a Catholic, just an inactive one.
Amen Brother!
As you know, a lot of people were killed for believing that very thing.
Oops
A person does not leave Catholicism. They are always a Catholic, just an inactive one.
