>>20657179Before, of course. She is baptised and confirmed, still practices in the Catholic faith and takes our kids to church (likely a more frequent churchgoer than your typical "Catholic" woman). There's just this added layer to her, which ultimately is a spiritual practice not unlike what my ancestors practiced. A lot of her witchy practices include things like invoking Christ, so I disagree with your assertions that all magical practitioners are Satanists. "A house against itself will not stand."
I struggled with it for a time, believe me. But God kept putting this woman in my life. I saw the signs, and the signs continue. I suspect sometimes He gave her to me to shield me from some great evil that only she can ward off. Mysterious ways and all that.
Anyway, like I said, it just works. If it didn't, I wouldn't be in it. If God didn't want it for me, then He would have sent someone else.
