Yesterday, we had a visiting Priest come to our Parish, Fr. Tobin, he is offering a Course in Christianity Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, among some of the topics that will be presented is “Am I responsible for my children leaving the church?” "Why are Catholic's Ashamed of our religion?" "What is the Church doing about sex abuse cases" and “Who Started Your Church?” it gives a list of religions and who started them at the near bottom is Jehovah’s Witnesses amongst others like Churches of Christ, Calvary Chapel, Assemblies of God, etc. under churches started in the past 100+ years. I am going to this class, as it seems more to do with Christian history, and questions that non-Catholics have about the Catholic faith. An interesting side note: the homily was about Catholics who left the faith or no longer actively practice the Catholic faith, we were told to love them and do not shun them, but instead pray for them and set a good example in our own life. So different than the JW’s and shun fallen members. I plan to attend this course and will post about it.

Thats great Andre,
I am seriously considering starting RCIA classes to become Catholic myself. It is such a beautiful, historic faith.

I just spoke to my cousin and she will be attending tonight, I doubt that it's going to be all preachy, just informative. Oh and Burn the ships, I went through RCIA about 6 years ago wonderful time, my teachers were two little old ladies that could totally be the queens of bible trivia, the class was more like a history class for the first couple months.
