ericsmom98,

1. Were you born/raised catholic?

Yes, went to Catholic School, had one Uncle who was a priest, and one that was a deacon. My entire family, including all relatives where Catholic.


2. How long ago did you leave the catholic church?

26 years ago.

3. Why did you leave the catholic church (what made you start questioning your faith)?

When after Vatican 2 they began to change how Mass was said, the changes in eating Meat on Friday, Changes on how you could receive communion, ect. When I asked questions about some of these changes I never ever got a straight answer. It got to the point where I even began questioning if there was even a God. This is when I began searching the Bible and the Bible alone for the Truth. This is where I found my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, by the Word of God and that alone. I also had the opportunity of spending 2 in a Roman Catholic Monastery, not as a member but hired as a contract feeder.


4. Are you criticized by your family for no longer being catholic?

No, never was. Soon after I left the Roman Catholic Church, I left the area( Business ) I was born from and never been back.

Sad to say most of my family died as Roman Catholics, lost and without hope and without God. I think they had a wafer stuck in their mouth.
