I’m excited to follow your blog! I read Joanna’s book last week and emailed her with praise. She suggested your site as I mentioned my struggles with this religion I was born and raised in. Ironically, I have been able to stay tolerant and practicing Catholicism because I found Taoism in 2007. It helps me release my judgement (most of the time) and focus on the good. I will treasure to hear how different people navigate the muddy waters of these trying times for our religion.
A friend of mine was told that as a catholic her miscarried child would be placed in hell. As a result she ran to mormanism when they told her that she would be re united wither unborn child. Why would her religious leader tell her that? From what I understand neither statements true. So what is the truth?
I’m sorry for your friend’s horrible experience. You are right as Catholics we do not believe a miscarried baby is sent to hell. In the coming weeks I will write a more comprehensive, doctrinally sound explanation. For now I leave you with two links (I personally lean heavily towards belief in the way things play out in the second essay)

So great to meet you, fellow traveller! The waters are muddy but we’re all just trying to make it work.
I have met Catholics that have become Mormons….what do you think of that?
