I am someone who was raised Cath...Glad to be here. I am someone who was raised Catholic, until my first penance. But never really made a serious connect. I was essentially kicked out of CCD at age 12 after my parents got divorced and fell away from there. At age 19, I had a radical conversion experience and began attending Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches. My family still attends a small non-denominational Church although in the past year or two, I have fallen in love with all things Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. If I could, I would attend one of these two. However, because my wife is so severly allergic to incense, I figured that Catholicism is really my only option. :) I now make regular connfesion and take recieve the eucharist as much as I can. <BR/> <BR/>I have been involved in outreach and interfaith dialogue with Muslims for several years. After these years of doing this, my feelings regarding ISlam are not positive. I am also a somewhat best-selling author along these lines, ahough I cannot state the title as I use a pen name. I have recently also co-authored a manuscript with a Benedictine sister (in-between convents) about St. Faustina - her life and message with an emphasis on the Image of Divine Mercy. Pray that we can get it through all of the proper channels to be published.<BR/><BR/>Blessings all.<BR/><BR/>RickAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165671889411796029noreply@blogger.com
