I realize this doesn't hold true for all of them but it does some. I made the mistake of contacting a site totally misrepresenting Catholicism, I won't make that mistake in the future. Turns out the webmaster was an ex-Catholic turned anti. Yeah I'm still getting over my guilt for being dumb and falling for the anti-dribble. Have to forgive myself, I know I'm where I should be now. Too much clicked in. Still have an overwhelming urge/want/desire to disappear from the internet.

Yes, but for those who are rabid about it, you have to extend forgiveness to someone... the only reason someone can be like that is because there was a failure to impart a full catechesis to them, either that or their failure to take one in.

Once found to be lacking, anyone with basic knowledge of the Bible can twist something out of proportion enough to get you or anyone to question it. Once questioned, it is easy to take the next step.

It is indeed a slippery slope.

I know I was there, I was sooooo there, so convinced. All the anti-Catholic stuff that seemed so true really wasn't. I did stop learning about Catholicism after Confirmation, I went for the new age/occult stuff instead. I guess back then it was more intriguing for me, I wanted to learn what my own abilities were which obviously weren't my abilities at all.

I know there's still a ton of anti-Catholic stuff out here that I put on the net and I've been honest about it. Each time I've told that to Catholics every single one has said 'welcome home'. I mean, I had ripped Catholicism apart brutally and wrongfully yet in spite of it I'm still welcomed back. That says a lot to me.
