Hi, guys —
I know this question has been addressed and answered in some variety, but I just wanted to give my own little story and two cents.
I was baptized in the Catholic Church, received my First Communion, but was not confirmed.
For whatever reason, I grew very detached from the Church. I never bothered to study in detail the Church's tenets, its history, or any of the underlying components that make this Church so unique.
I've grown now and am married to a beautiful woman that I am glad to call my spouse. Everything seemed fine, almost perfect even except . . . I had no faith whatsoever.
After I stopped attending Mass at the age of 13, I was an Atheist. I just didn't understand the tenets of the Church or its real meaning. Some years ago, I wanted to try and find some faith, something I could call my own; I was 20 around that time. I tried going to some Shul's, Mosques, Temples, etc. I learned so much about religion, both outside, and inside of school. Part of my major even involved Judaic studies. I felt incomplete however, and nothing seemed to fit just right.
I loved Judaism for its rich history and lore. I loved Islam for its strict attention to worship.
Then I realized, I had glanced over a religion that combined both of these traits, and more, I might add.
I found my way back into the Catholic Church. I found my way back into my Savior Jesus Christ.
This posting isn't so much a question but a revelation.
Sites like yours do incredible justice for the faith, and help people like myself see the true light of God once again.
Thank you for everything you do.
Marc
