The indoctrination begins at birth.
It’s very hard to change that. The Holy Spirit has to open their eyes to see the inconsistencies in Catholic teaching and that usually happens after the salvation experience, when someone has finally given discernment and spiritual eyes to see.
Before that, they believe the most amazing contradictions and just write off the illogic of it as a *mystery of the faith*.
True.
I’m sure you had to “defend the RC faith” at some point and you did so, like me. We did exactly as they are doing. I don’t fault them.
We can pray that The Holy Spirit opens their eyes & heart to the truth. While there is still time.
