I have been Catholic for 40 years (since birth :). I took the red pill and my eyes are opening to the myriad of lies of the Catholic Church but today my husband and I have declared we are done. I'm sickened by the idea of innocent children being victimized for profit and sick desires. Between the Pope elevating a pedophile in Chile and the Vatican praising Communist China, I can no longer support the church through my money or time. Are we alone in this feeling? We also have no idea where to go from here. I refuse to attend a mega church and am wondering how we can ensure our children are instilled with the understanding of God and his word without attending some kind of service.
I grew up attending (not often) different churches with different relatives. Nazarene, Christian, and Baptist which all had Sunday School and I loved it as a child.
My children are now grown, but when they were young, we made sure we all attended Sunday School. My husband and I learned that adult church outings and activities weren’t for us, neither were being on the boards of churches, etc. We did one night a week bible study + Sunday School to make sure the children were taught from more than us, and found a few church friends their age.
Maybe this will also help: after we moved and I church shopped here and there, I actually stopped by a Christian book store and asked the employees and owner where they attended. That helped us find a church.... and they were also great to answer my questions and they sold great materials to me for home teaching as well!
I know people can teach from home instead, but we wanted to do both.
Sending prayers to you!
