Flip-flopping Christian?
Q. I have Catholic friend who did not really practice her faith. She said that as Catholic, she very seldom, if ever, read the Bible.

She said that if she did not become born again and started reading the Bible and taking interest in the history of Christianity she would not have known that the Catholic Church was indeed the Church established by Jesus. Now she is back being Catholic and… [cont.]

I discovered through research and Bible reading that the Catholic Church was the True Church, and I continue to learn and be amazed by faith and depth of Catholicism. I do… [cont.]
