Hagar Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 My son was ordained as a Deacon in the Catholic Church Saturday, Feb 20th, in Houston. He had six years of study and classes to prepare. My wife and I are proud of him, and feel confident he’ll be a strong ally for Christ. I know some of you look down on the Catholic denomination. Just be aware that Catholics are Christians trying to please God like other denominations. My prayers are that all Christians will grow stronger in their faith, as Christians, not as Catholics, Baptist, or whichever denomination you may be. God Bless!

When he returned home after 7 years in the Marines, he had quit going to Church during that time. Once he married and had his first child on the way, he came back strong. We thank God for that.

Yep, as were Catholics prior to my joining. Personally, I think we’ll be judged as individual Christians, not by denomination.
