Question
I was away from my church for many years but came back. Now I would like to know how should I go about trying to help bring back to church friends of mine who have abandoned their religion. i got back by starting to pray the Rosary every day.
Dear Jamie:
The first thing to do is to work hard at understanding your own faith. Once you learn the Catholic faith real well then you can think about trying to bring back fallen away Catholics. It is wonderful that you want to help others to find the Church, but if you cannot answer their questions you will have no effect. Definitely pray the rosary everyday.
God Bless You,
Sal

I love the Catholic Church and her book, the Bible. I will try to answer your questions with an emphasis on God*s Word. I believe the Catholic Church is the Church established by Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world. I can answer questions pertaining to the biblical basis for Catholic beliefs. I can also explain the beliefs of Jehovah*s Witnesses, Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists as related to Catholic doctrine.
