My name is Mario Alejandro Magaña (Mario A. Magaña). I was born and raised a Catholic. I went to two Catholic schools during my childhood. One was a Marist brother's institution called Liceo San Luis, and the other was a Salesian (of Don Bosco) called Colegio Salesiano San José. Both institutions are located in Santa Ana, El Salvador (Central America). I thank GOD for having had the chance to study there because I believe my intellect and heart were both well taken care of.

During my teenage years, however, I drifted away from The Faith, and since I started sinning more and more, influenced by certain tv programming and music, I started facing more troubles in life, and, not recognizing them as the wages of my sins, I started thinking, "GOD doesn't exist and that is why troubles are coming to me unjustly". After a long struggle with sin, I finally found the freedom to repent, and opened my heart to GOD again.

I started attending a Protestant Pentecostal congregation under Argentinian Pastor Dante Gebel. I felt GOD speaking a lot to me there, so I was sure that GOD exists. But, being bombarded by the many accusations against The Catholic Church calling it satanic on Youtube and other sources on the internet, I thought that to be protestant was The Way. But, as I kept praying and pondering about the truth of The Church, GOD revealed to me through many sources how The Catholic Church itself does not teach anything evil, and how even if some people in it do bad, there are many others who do much good. So, I felt that it is our mission to protect The Church when some evil attacks Her from inside, or outside, not to leave Her, and start our own churches while speaking ill of The Church.

Today, I reside in Orange County, Southern California (U.S.A.). I have gone to a public community college, but not being entirely satisfied with their ways of teaching and materials, and not being able to afford a proper Catholic higher education, I have endeavored to be an autodidact. I am currently studying literature, theology, philosophy, and will shortly, GOD willing, resume my studies in computer science and German.
