BTW, my siblings are ex-catholics. Please pray for them. They are also anti-Orthodox as they assume that Orthodox are Catholics minus the Pope.

It's the ones closest to us, like family, that oppose our decision the most. My family doesn't want to hear anything about Orthodoxy, even after 18 years. But, they still have to put up with my fasting periods. Although, my father has shown sympathy, but that's because I'm his little girl. :)

I think a good topic to follow is difficulties with family. What do you think?
