Escaped From Catholicism

For fourteen years, I was the co-ordinator for the Justice and Peace in the Deanery, Vice Chairman of the Deanery Pastoral Council, occasional speaker for the presentation of Papal Encyclicals, regular mass reader, was commissioned by the diocese to author a book about my Church (which is still in print), was a member of the liturgy committee and was also part of the Churches Together, which involved ecumenism and inter-faith.

I should also say, that my family can boast of having priests in the Catholic church, with one being a Canon, going back generations.

Yet, today I am ashamed to think that in all of those years when I performed numerous charitable works, attended mass seven days a week (sometimes twice on Sunday), observed and promoted the teachings of the Catholic church, I never knew Jesus personally. Had I died, I would have perished forever. Only when I repented and trusted Him ALONE as my Saviour and Lord was I truly and eternally saved!
