BRINGING EX-CATHOLICS BACK TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH A PERSONAL STORY

CATHOLIC CLASSICS UNLIMITED BRINGING EX-CATHOLICS BACK TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH ^

[OrthodoxIndianCatholic]

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.

Seems like you are the one whining here. Pesky things these facts.

[daniel1212]

Then how did you see mine? I didn't. I responded to your challenge put forth here:

Oh. I did not know the Google search showed the same thing.

[daniel1212]

Is this a Proverbs 26:5 moment?

Sadly because "a fool returneth to his folly." (Proverbs 26:11)

[daniel1212]

Correction/clarification: while "I said" is the same thing as "I wrote," the comment has me saying/writing a church of the Bible did not exist, but that is not what i said/wrote, but as repeatedly shown, "church of Rome" refers to the one described in the comment being responded to, but to the RC mind the church of the book of Romans gave us English Bible, which is the very premise that was denied and is refuted .

“I wonder what was wrong with the OLD version??”

Nothing. I had both. I also have the booklet explaining the editorial differences. You posted a verse from Micah that is from the NIV. I wonder what was wrong with OLDER versions of the Bible that you chose to use a relatively new one?

I see your point bro. 😃😀

Thanks

It's always good to remember that FR is not what you will typically encounter in direct contact with RC's. The vast majority are unaware that Scripture is very clear that you can't work your way to heaven, or that an institution on Earth does not have any say in who is saved. My experience within my family and at work has been that if we actually open a Bible a lot of RC's come to know and believe The Gospel.

I think this is why you see the majority of people coming to faith are becoming Evangelical Christians not joining the RCC.

So it seems......

[rwa265]

Then why SO many of the FR ones seems to get outta shape because that is pointed out?

---

I can’t answer for anyone else. In fact, I haven’t really noticed anyone getting out of shape when it’s pointed out. I have noticed those pointing it out getting out of shape when they’re ignored.

[vladimir998]

So you’re going to avoid the fact that were doing the same thing you accuse the Catholic Church of doing - i.e. using a “NEW” edition of something?

Hypocrisy. All yours.

“A HUNDRED pages more??”

Yes - because that’s how long all the indices and the glossary are which were not included in the first edition.

The editorial changes to the CCC text amount to about 4 to 6 pages of actual single-spaced text for the entire CCC. Here they are:

“I post lots of stuff from Rome’s Douay-Rheims version;”

No, you don’t - because “Rome” doesn’t have a Douay-Rheims version. That’s an old Bible used by ENGLISH speaking Catholics. “Rome” never issued it nor does “Rome” even use it.

“yet there are newer ones: Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition.”

Of course there are newer ones. That’s common sense. Just like it’s common sense to have newer catechisms and newer editions of catechisms. That’s why it made no sense for you to bring it up “NEW” in the first place. And it made perfect sense for me to show you were a hypocrite for using the NEW International Version in the SAME POST in which you attacked Catholics for having a second edition of the catechism.
