Converts Unconverting?

I left for many reasons but the main reasons were - (1) i found the catholic clergy to be very dangerous people, (2) catholics contradict each other - they speak of 'one' faith but they are divided between orthodox, novus ordo, St Pius X group, liberal, traditional - what one says is licit is heresy according to another and vice versa, (3) catholics are not very social people - the "catholic" community is a a very lonely place and the catholic faith is very miserable[/quote]

Dear GodChild,

You seem to have undergone some painful and confusing situations during your stay in Catholicism. For what it's worth, I'll remember you in my prayers. I hope you find the healing you are searching for, and that God somehow shows you his great love.

With love and prayers,

Yours in Christ,
Innocent

I'm [i]almost[/i] rooting for the internet to totally crash. I would not mind being booted back to the pre-computer age, technologically speaking.

But I tend to be rather digital myself so it would probably hurt me more than it helps me. At least compared to others. At least business and career wise.

Ha - ha.

:-) No, I can't make highlights on the internet. Easier to find what I'm looking for if I have a highlighted paperback copy ready and waiting on the shelf!

St. Joseph Radio has a good number of encyclicals in paperback:

You can also find them on amazon.com. Here is the publication I usually use:

Check with your local Catholic bookstore, as well. If they don't have them in stock, I'm sure they can order them for you!
