I do not know whether you are a convert from another Christian church or from Judaism, Islam or anywhere else.
I don't know how you came across this website, perhaps by chance like I did some years ago, because it has the word ‘Catholic’ in its title. I am a cradle Catholic yet I was appalled by what I was reading here. Naively, I believed that Catholics throughout the world believed in what the Church taught. Mind you I had naively ignored several warning signs within my extended family that this was not so. I am at least grateful to NCReporter for waking me up to the fact that my relatives' beliefs and behaviours were not untypical of modern Catholics, all of whom have abandoned the Catholic Faith save for rites of passage, Baptisms, weddings and funerals.
I post on this website to reassure those like yourself that what you read here is not Catholicism. The teaching of the Catholic Church is perennial, not just what you read here.
