rewarding, satisfying. I am not certain how to describe my feelings about.it. The older I get the more I cherish it.

It's important to me, I believe it's the true faith that will lead me to heaven, regardless of the hatred it receives from others esp Protestants.

I know this for a fact because Jesus said, If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you. 19 If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 15, 18-22

Also because Catholicism is the original Christian Church dating back to St Peter and officially being made known by Constantine.

We are the largest, and oldest Christian Church and have a rich history of doctrine and dogma.

Most Catholics don't go around attacking and hating others or scandalizing their Churches like Protestants do. We take the abuse we receive from them as Jesus did.
