I know many people who were Catholics and the LORD HIMSELF led them out. They serve God with their whole lives and are giants in the faith today. I also know people who have only recently come out of Catholicism and have received Jesus Christ FOR THE FIRST TIME---not ever having understood what their religion actually was teaching, but were heavily involved in it---and the spiritual growth in them is phenomenal, palpable. They all tell of confusion and the lack of satisfaction in tradition, knowing there was something more that they needed---they were spiritually STARVING! They all are grateful to God for hearing their heart's cry and leading them out of what has become a dead religion of works and traditions based on false perceptions of the truth.

I have to wonder why they were starving for real spiritual food and that no one came to their rescue.
