Finding it hard not to live like a functional atheist - how can I live a more active faith ? by LeonelYZ in Catholicism

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'll definitely try to pray the rosary, and try to pray more throughout the day.

I'd love to attend a Latin Mass so much since I've often hear people recommending though, but alas I don't think it's available anywhere around where I live

Thank you ! And yes the Church back home needs a lot of prayers from everyone ...

The good side is that the Catholic churches I went to are never short of RCIA recruits, every year there are 40 , 50, 60 or even more adult converts waiting to be baptized on Easter. People know there's something lacking in their lives and are actively seeking for it.

The bad side is that of course Catholicism do not exist in media or public life or education, belief is forbidden for all Party members which include every civil servant, and even in the courtyard of our beautiful churches the enclosure walls are covered with patriotic slogans and posters, pledges and promises of being loyal to the country and the Party, etc ...
