Dear new friend: In 1988, when I was living in El Salvador during the civil war that lasted for almost 12 years, I interviewed protestants and catholics and asked why so many catholics in El Salvador were leaving the catholic church. I was then reporting for the CNN World Report and I remember interviewing father Rogelio Esquivel, perhaps the most devoted and caring priest I have ever met in my life, considering that I come from a family with many nuns, priests and consecreted servants to the church. He told me during the interview that he has been called "Cirenean" (as Simmon of Ciren, who helped Jesus to carry the cross) by some members of the catholic church for praying with and among protestants. Isn't that the bottom line of this matter? Catholics leaving the church because they do not find most of the time a sense of community and belonging in the church? I'm glad that catholic priests as father Rogelio believe in building a community one person at a time, centered in our faith but mainly in the love of the Lord Jesus, while his church is growing in El Salvador as many of the protests church are in El Salvador and the rest of Latinamerica too. Our Lord Jesus never established differences and ranks when it came to claim our inheritance as God's children. Welcome to my webpage. Have a blessed day. LATIN_LADY_CIELO |

Your bored? A disciple of Jesus can't be bored. The love that is given to us we give to others .
