GLOUCESTER CITY NJ–Ever since I can remember, I was taught the entire story of Jesus’s Crucifixion, the Triumphal entry into Jerusalem the mock trial, the appearance before Pilate, the parting of His garments and all of the other details of what the \”Church\” called \”Holy Week\”. My family faithfully observed Lent and all its abstinences and I even studied these doctrines for 3 years in Catechism classes (now CCD). How vividly do I remember my mentors imparting the sanctity of \”Good Friday\”, the day that Jesus was hung on the cross, dying and being buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathaea to rise again on Easter morning. I was thoroughly indoctrinated in the teaching of the \”Church\”, but NOT of Christ.
