On Leaving the Church: A Letter
March 1, 2007 2:54 pmFriend,
You mentioned about a week ago that you were considering leaving the Church. Of course, my Catholic sensor went haywire. ;) I really do believe that you have to choose faith for yourself. You have to make it your own, not just the pretty building your mom drags you to every Sunday. Nevertheless, I believe that truth is objective, and that the Catholic Church has the truth. I don’t know if you’re still searching, but if you are, you should at least know what you’re thinking about leaving.
I don’t think I’ve ever explicitly said it before, but you can ask me anything. I love talking about the Church. Jesus is pretty awesome. :) I can point you to a lot of other information as well, if you’re interested. I think of it as personal research.
Liz put it best one week at FOCUS Bible study. She said, “If I woke up one day and found out that the truth was somewhere other than the Catholic Church, I would want to take all of you there with me.” I’ve found the truth in Catholicism, and I want you to have it, too.
Pax Christi (peace of Christ),
