[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, glad you found a home.

Many children leave religions in which they were raised. Many come back to religion (their own or a new one) as they get old. Tis how life is.

I have no idea why you feel the need to take swipes at Catholicism. You may want to keep that in check since you too have just now embraced a Christian way of life. You should perhaps check with your pastor about being more charitable which will help you become closer to Jesus. [/quote]
  
  [b]Then you really wouldn't like my husband's uncharitable comments about his former church, which he feels is morally bankrupt[/b].[/quote]

She can't help herself.

I'm relieved to not be sitting next to them in a pew every Sunday.[/quote]

If someone truly wants to be closer to God it doesn't take decades to find a church. Only people with an agenda take that long. Her DH did last for decades against her though. We have to give that to him. [/quote]

I don't think he was a beleaguered Catholic. I think he was a non-believer whose wife hates Catholicism and wasn't happy until he officially joined another faith.

I know a few couples in which the men who were raised Catholic, lost their faith as adults, and converted to another religion please their wives. The wives were uniformly shocked when the men dropped the new religion at divorce. It's not that they necessarily returned to the Church (1 guy next converted from Lutheran to Reform Judaism when he remarried.) It's that the new religion never took. Maybe fertile seeds on infertile ground? Who knows. The point is conversions should be internal, not driven by the need to pacify a spouse.[/quote]
