Hello!
I hope this is the right place to ask this. If not, then I trust the mods will move it to the correct forum. If you do, I apologize in advance!
This question came to mind when I was reading the post about Pope Benedict and why he is Catholic.
I began my journey in the Catholic Church. I was led to worship elsewhere. That isn't a critique of Catholics, but rather how I felt, and still feel, led. That is just a little background info. My best friend is a Catholic.
Is it not possible for God to work outside of the One True Church? Is it not possible for Him to call and use believers who are not in the Catholic Church? Isn't the true universal (church) the body of believers whom He has chosen?
I hope that makes sense. I am just curious. For me, the church is greater then one part of it. The church is His chosen ones, and in truth, He only knows whose hearts are truly His.
Thanks!! God bless my Catholic brothers and sisters, and Happy Easter! Praise God that our Messiah has Risen!
