Fraxinus Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Greetings, everyone.I've been lurking for a little while and finding all the conversation interesting and the atmosphere welcoming, so I decided to sign up.I joined the Church a very, very long time ago, but my sponsors moved away and I fell away very soon thereafter. I ended up becoming a Catholic after a years-long intensive search. Despite this, I never turned away any missionaries who came to my door and have always had interesting talks when they visit.Just had some missionaries drop by the other day and I got to talking to them about how I didn't believe in the Great Apostasy. After they left, I decided to try to understand how Mormons could believe in the Great Apostasy, so I checked out a book entitled The Inevitable Apostasy by Tad R. Callister from the library and am finding myself amazed at how little I knew about Mormon theology - and how not crazy it is. So, I'm here for fellowship and to ask a bunch of silly questions to get my facts straight. I'm here as an earnest seeker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Hiya Fraxinus! I was Catholic too, very devout, until I had a spiritual experience on the apostasy. I love the Catholic church. It is my foundation - a very important part of my journey. Welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
