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.

Happy and Holy Reading.
“And this is an illustration of what one believes does not always reflect reality.”
No, it is just a matter of experience. As I said before:
I don’t believe you. Here’s why: 1) when I asked the question the first time in post 76 you avoided it completely, 2) you apparently have no understanding of the books.
“I believe I answered your questions in post #61.”
False. I asked the question in post 76 so you could not have answered a question that was not yet asked in post 61. Nothing in post 61 indicates you’ve ever read any of the books. Nothing you have posted at all to me indicates you have read any of the books.
Aside from your snide comments, the Poster you are maligning and accusing of lies, posted a seminal sentence from the books you claim to have read. This comment shows it is not Jesus being glorified by the catholic ‘devotion’ to Mary, it is Mary, because the sentence posted shows clearly that Jesus is demoted in order to raise Mary to worshipful glow. The religion of catholiciism might even be better called Mariology, given the worshipful status attributed to this mary of catholiciism. Sad that
“This comment shows it is not Jesus being glorified by the catholic ‘devotion’ to Mary, it is Mary, because the sentence posted shows clearly that Jesus is demoted in order to raise Mary to worshipful glow.”
That’s completely false. Mary’s heart was pierced. If you understand that, then you understand why. Apparently, you don’t.
“The religion of catholiciism might even be better called Mariology, given the worshipful status attributed to this mary of catholiciism.”
Then I guess you’re stuck calling Eastern Orthodoxy “Mariology” too. Those sorts of statements just show how out of touch with reality the average anti-Catholic is.
“Sad that”
Your posting is.
Ping-aling-aling
A video message for our catholic friends ...
More like Mariolatry . . .
You’re so desperate for attention you’re trolling HuffPo for month old fodder?
And there it is: Elsie posts family photo.
“The statements just posted show how out of touch with Jesus many Catholic are.”
I’m sure some are. Plenty of Protestants are too. The difference is the Catholics are not spending all day online attacking Protestant things they don’t know. The Protestant anti-Catholics are.
“You’ll have to post at least 992 more words, just to call the bet.”
No, you’ll just post a cartoon and prove me right. Again.
