I totally understand that life takes precedence over blogging!<br /><br />Patty- thanks for the tip. I guess this pro-choice ad only appears when I open my blog? No one else has seen it... kind of strange.<br /><br />Jen - I'm hoping the anti-Catholicism views of other Christians is not wide-spread but I do wonder.<br /><br />Barb- thanks for explaining SFO. I haven't reopened Unplanned yet until I finish a book by Marcus Grodi and I'm half-way through. Thanks for the encouragement!<br /><br />Sue- I don't know, maybe part of the uncertainity of the Catholic Faith is that we're not as vocal about it? And when we do share our faith and live it out, others then can see we are a Christian faith??noreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11512311149461187879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975787531348798866.post-67151459756746321542011-03-06T03:24:15.517-06:002011-03-06T03:24:15.517-06:00I feel sad that you have been treated so badly onl...I feel sad that you have been treated so badly only for the reason you are a Catholic, Noreen. Once I used to be the only Catholic in a group of protestant homeschoolers. After some time, one woman became more friendly towards me and admitted, "You Catholics are Christians after all!" I don't know what prompted this statement but she obviously had preconceived ideas about Catholics. <br /><br />The more we learn about our faith and the more we encourage one another, the more we come to appreciate and love the Catholic Church.<br /><br />I agree that many women who have abortions are really so scared and I feel compassion for them. Thank God we have our faith to give us strength to do what is right.

SFO is Secular Franciscan Order, and we are people living and working in the world, with families and spouses and children and jobs and all of that. We gather regularly as a community for prayer, learning and socializing too. In everything we do, we hope to follow the example of St. Francis and try to live inspired by the Gospel. Hope this helps--and it's not a silly question at all!<br /><br />Barb at http://sfomom.blogspot.comBarb Szyszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329184613713551475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975787531348798866.post-7637815356163979122011-03-05T06:55:05.878-06:002011-03-05T06:55:05.878-06:00Noreen, I have heard some of these anti-catholic t...Noreen, I have heard some of these anti-catholic things too from time to time. I didn't grow up catholic (Lutheran) and I never heard anti-catholic statements, ever, until I joined an on-line adoption group of evangelical women. I too was blown away by what some of them thought, total misinformation, about our faith. Like you, I used it as an opportunity to learn and to hopefully to grow a stronger Catholic. Keep up the good work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15273090648046464044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975787531348798866.post-41490636467253621242011-03-04T20:27:32.630-06:002011-03-04T20:27:32.630-06:00I didn't see the ads Noreen, but maybe you cou...I didn't see the ads Noreen, but maybe you could contact Blogger directly and tell them to filter those ads out? Maybe its because of your online pro life research as of late? If its in your cookies, maybe the computer is improperly reading that as your being pro abortion?? Just a thought. Anyway, you might want to contact them:)<br /><br />God Bless!PattyinCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04286757995048861826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975787531348798866.post-33736720979061360682011-03-04T17:57:57.142-06:002011-03-04T17:57:57.142-06:00Noreen, thanks for stopping by today.

I've been so out of the loop with my blog friends lately. these past two weeks, maybe three, I've been so busy with other things and trying to stay connected to everyone. but I've missed out on reading your blog of late, and I need to catch up!
