“As a Protestant, I thought that I was more advanced than others, even though I didn’t admit it; but now I understand that I’m sinful and that others could be much better people that I am. There is no pessimism or depression in such a view. Through Sacraments and fasting, with the help of the Divine Church that is praying for us, we can gradually change and move forward.”
