I have struggled for sometime with the teachings of the Catholic Church and stopped going to Mass on a regular basis. Recently I went to a Church of England service where the welcome was very warm not something I have ever experienced in the Catholic Church. My dilemma is a feeling of guilt having been born and brought up as Catholic to now consider moving to the C of E, it does seem to offer me what I am looking for. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you reconcile yourself to it.

Yes I get what you mean, I didn't put that well. But if you want to belong to a church it doesn't have to be the RC church. That's all I meant. I hope that's clearer.

@Judy54 I too was brought up in the Catholic faith and long since stopped going to Mass unless I'm visiting my dear Mum. More because I found I couldn't believe in the way expected. It's all got much more ecumenical and Catholics are welcomed and allowed to take communion in the CofE (something I thing Anglicans aren't allowed to do in the Catholic church).

Go to your CofE church and rejoice in finding a welcome - it's the same God and He won't mind where you worship!
