We welcome your conversion stories in this forum. However there is one request. When you post your story, please include in the subject line the denomination from which you came. The reason is simple ... it will help others on the same path to find your testimony.
Thank you for sharing with us. We are energized and blessed by your presence.

Hi, after a twenty-five year laspe away from the Catholic Church, I have come home. I had no idea how wonderful it would be. At first my husband was encouraging. He saw the transformation in me which was one of great peace and joy. Now all of a sudden he is very angry. He told me the other day, "Had you been Catholic, I wouldn't have married you. and now we are unequally yoked." I am very sad and unsure of how to handle the situation. My one sister tells me this marriage isn't even recognized in the Church. he would blow a gasket over that.
Both of our first spouses died and we were married in a non-denominational church 12 years ago. God has led me back to the chuch and I have not been this excited for a long time. I listened to a cd by Father Larry and he siad you should get to the point where you can't live without the mass. This is how I feel.
Any suggestions or ideas would be helpful. Thanks so much. Karen

And we are very happy to welcome you back. Welcome to the Coming Home Network as well. We're thrilled to have you with us, both on the forum and in the Church. Feel free to participate in all our discussions, and we'll do our best to answer any questions you might have as well.
There is more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 who have no need of repentence. Imagine the joy in heaven right now over your return! We share that joy as well.
Welcome home!

welcome home and welcom to the CHNetwork. We're very pleased to have you here with us, I think maybe we need you to start a new thread, as I think others are not sure what or who's this is under Ricks name.
If you post another question in fellowship hall, you'll find that we have a large group of others that are suffering with their spouses discontent with their conversions to the church. The others will come out of the wood work to visit and support you on your journey with any questions, concerns & even the ones about what to do with a non-supportive spouse.
I personally have a spouse that is sometimes supportive and other times resents my conversion. It would be fine as long as my beliefs did not interfere with his or how we behave in life and our home. That's an impossible situation as a conversion changes us in many ways.
I guess I could say that my husband believes there should be a "Separation from Marriage and church." Somthing like the law of "Separation of church & state". :?
:? For the most, I cannot complain, he's more supportive than some of our friends husbands here at the network. Come on in and join us in conversations already started or start your own thread
Gods Peace and Welcome!
Betty

| Spouse giving you trouble? Well remember this guy Satan he might be having a hand in that too. Say your prayers include the chaplet of Divine Mercy http://thedivinemercy.org/message/devotions/chaplet.php go to church every Sunday and put God first. Even in marriage God comes first. You will want to have your marriage convalidated by a priest because you werent married in the church, and now that you are Catholic it isnt recognized since it didnt take place in the Church. Until the marriage is convalidated, how can I put this, its either sex or the Eucharist you cant have both. From my own life I say put the Eucharist first.

| Hello, I finally got on this board. I should have a long time ago. I converted back in March of 2001 with my wife and children. The CHN was a very important part of my journey.
