Hello again all,
I suppose I should start as to why I'm feeling torn. As some of you may know I grew up as a non-practising Catholic.
When I got serious about my faith I left Catholicism and moved to Protestantism.
I have been there ever since..however every so often I feel this tug back towards the Catholic church. There are parts of it I miss, and it seems, that the protestant churches cannot fill.
It seems easy to say: "well just go back to the Catholic church." but my family, though I feel they would...support me, I don't think would agree.
Also a lot of my friends are Protestant and can be..well..rather hash when looking at the Catholic faith. I know my converting back would raise a few eyebrows and I would be going alone. (knowing no one in the Catholic community)
It's very daunting, and well...I'm confused.
Do I stay where I have been for years (mostly Baptist) or do I go back to the Catholic church and risk losing people?
It's really tough, and I don't know what to do.
