I had an encounter with the Roman Catholic church last summer and since the memory of it is still fresh , I'd like to share it with you ..
All my family members ( as much as I know ) are Orthodox Christians and for a period of time I used to visit a local Orthodox church . To be honest though, I didn't hear enough preaching there (more songs and etc ) and I was looking for a new church . I visited the Roman Catholic church with a friend and I liked it a lot at first because there was a service everyday ! I was always concerned about one thing though .. The orthodox and the catholic believe about the Virgin Mary ..I know that this is a sensitive topic and I don't wish to offend anyone by stating anything , but I'm a strong believer in the Bible and I look with suspicion on anything that isn't mentioned in it . The first thing I asked the priest in the catholic church was weather they put a strong focus on The Virgin Mary , to which he answered with a no answer . About a month later I was invited to a youth catholic festival .. there I heard the message of the 2 sinless person( second being Mother Mary ) strongly proclaimed . Now , this isn't written in the Bible and I can't believe in it blindly. That same day I left the festival and short afterwards I decided to not be a member of the catholic , or the orthodox church any longer . I'm currently visiting a baptist church and I feel very happy there . I haven't heard anything that isn't written / or contradicts the Bible
My mom wasn't thrilled about it at first , but last week she came with me and she also enjoyed the time spent there .
I strongly advice you to go back to church. However, I also advice you to pray for a while before picking the church you would like to visit... I did the exact same thing when I decided to go to church .. orthodox seemed to be the right place for me
I hope that this will be helpful
God Bless
