Not that it gives you joy upon entering, not that you don't want to be associated with others professing the same beliefs, etc.<br /><br />If you think Catholicism is true, you ought to stay. If you think it false, the only honest thing to do is leave.<br /><br />It's a simple choice and only one you can make.<br /><br />God bless.Nathan Barontinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149641876919091106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8676538176679335464.post-26515528713855200232016-07-11T07:32:58.640-04:002016-07-11T07:32:58.640-04:00What an awful, prideful, assuming and sanctimous a...What an awful, prideful, assuming and sanctimous answer. How dare you condescend to someone in enough spiritual pain to leave the very Church they joined with joy.<br /><br />You don't speak to their feeling of loss, their disillusionment,...this is just an opportunity for you to be "right" at their expense.<br /><br />You utterly shame me and this example only solidifies my own decision to break from the Church. You can love the person and understand that the Body is cancerous, hating the cancer.<br /><br />And I don't want to be associated with ideas like this any longer. You disgust me.ColumbaMauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725779174169949422noreply@blogger.com
