"I miss the certainty about meeting Jesus that came with being Protestant."

A questioner misses the certainty of once saved always saved.

I'm surprised the writer didn't once mention the Christian virtue of hope in his response to the question. The answer 'just stop feeling' isn't very useful. Perhaps he could have referenced Benedict XVI's Spe Salvi ...

OSAS is a fool's paradise. I much prefer living with my mind attuned to hard truth than easy error.

"...respect must everywhere be shown for the feelings of all those who are attached to the Latin liturgical tradition, by a wide and generous application of the directives already issued some time ago by the Apostolic See for the use of the Roman Missal according to the typical edition of 1962." --- Pope St John Paul II, Ecclesia Dei, 1988
