Pope Apologizes for Cradle Catholics Who Have Not Shared The Faith

       Pope Benedict 16th at his annual gathering with his former students

I was one of those Catholics in the 70's who left the Church with nary a clue regarding what and who I was leaving. I have often wondered if a Catholic who was acquainted with apologetics was able to counter my silly Jack Chick arguments, would I have stayed in the faith?  Only God knows and perhaps He has used my "3 hour tour" through the sacrament-less protestant sects to help me better appreciate the Eucharist and see how much grace is available to me in the Catholic faith.
     I pray that in the remaining years of my life I will always live and share my faith in such a way that no person I contact will miss the opportunity to have the fullness of the gospel found only in the Catholic faith shared with them.
