I have a feeling God is using this issue to open up a conversation between my sister and myself which will (I am praying) lead her back to him. I am also saying the Memorare for her conversion (as well as my own because I could always do with more nudging in the right direction :D) Your answer has helped me with the long email I am writing to her and I sure would appreciate a small whisper from you in God's ear next time you are speaking to Him.

A am a Protestant and I am somewhat troubled by your dismissive stance towards Protestantism. That is not how I would escribe my denomination. We are your sisters and brothers in Christ after all, and I don't say anything dismissive about Roman Catholicism to my RC friends. In fact, having been a RC I have great respect for the tradition. (And no, I don't want to be told what a wicked person I am for having left Catholicism.

This is something I've wondered about for decades. You know how the Nazis caricatured all Jewish women as ugly Juden Sows? Well how did they square that with their Catholic beliefs about that lovely little Jewish girl, the Blessed Virgin Mary? I have tried and tried to find out anything about this and just can't. Thanks very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-42819727126232699222009-01-25T20:49:00.000-08:002009-01-25T20:49:00.000-08:00Hello again sister!I hope you can offer some good ...Hello again sister!<BR/>I hope you can offer some good advice on this. But I feel like I deal with this a lot and I don't know how to handle it right.<BR/>I am with a group of friends, and we are all devoutly Catholic (together). But sometimes one of us has a problem, and then half of us know about it, half of us don't. It turns into this whole big thing because it is obvious there is an elephant in the room. At one point it kind of hurts because we talk about how we're a family, and yet we don't always share everything. But I also understand that they may not want to share everything with everyone. I don't quite know what to do when this happens because I don't want to get into the drama, or get in the middle, but if something is wrong with a friend I'd want to help. If you're brother had broken his leg, you'd want someone to tell you, right? I know that sometimes faith requires you to keep praying and hoping regardless of whether or not you know all the facts (or any at all for that matter). I hope you can offer something to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-54863325967281545642009-01-25T06:34:00.000-08:002009-01-25T06:34:00.000-08:00Just as friendly warning: avoid the complete idiot...Just as friendly warning: avoid the complete idiot's guide to Understanding Catholicism.

In fact, reminds me of the days when I was growing up and the Wilson kids down the street taunted my brother and I for not being Roman Catholic, shouting at us that we were going to hell. I have since converted to "the true religion of God" and have now been told by my born-again in-laws that I'm going to hell for being Catholic. Seems as though I'm destined to be a busy girl in the afterlife. I'm simply hoping there will be dancing and that cake and refeshments will be served.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15238905633085051322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-62944891996554239082009-01-24T07:02:00.000-08:002009-01-24T07:02:00.000-08:00Check out the other Catholic Churchs in your area ...Check out the other Catholic Churchs in your area and see if you like their singing.

As often as not, Father McGraine needed an altarboy for those long-ago summer Masses, and I was it. Those things are more precious in my memory than any gifts or presents I ever got.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
