Welcome The humanness of the Church is real—but that cannot excuse inhumane behavior that results in alienation. If you have been on the receiving end of misunderstanding, insensitivity, or hostility from a representative of the Church—and have turned your back on the Church family because of it, here is a place to begin your “re-connection.” Welcome to OnceCatholic.org. We cannot undo what happened to you with the same instant response of the “undo” button on your computer programs. But we can offer hospitality, charity and a listening ear. Here you can find parishes and programs where someone objective may be waiting to hear your story. Search for resources that will offer you support and affirmation. Meet our online companions and join an ongoing, moderated discussion to hear others’ experiences of both alienation and reconciliation. It’s our humanity offering a chance to heal. Conversation Corner
