He became a member of the Adventist Church in 1946 regardless. Morneau claims there was the threat of a bounty on his head of $10,000 (approximately $126,000 in 2012 dollars), should he join the Adventist Church. This turned him away from spiritualism and began his studies of Christ as an Adventist. Before he was to make a full commitment, however, he asked a Seventh-day Adventist co-worker, Cyril Grossé, to go over some Bible studies with him. He claimed to have been concerned with teaching that there is no salvation outside the Catholic Church, and felt he could not understand a God that would torture people eternally in hell.Īs a young adult, Morneau was introduced to spiritualism through a friend, and nearly joined a secret order of spirit worshipers who claimed to be the "elite". While he was a youth, his mother died and he experienced disillusionment in God that he later claimed stemmed from teachings in Catholic books and the Church. Morneau was born in 1925 in Saint-Jacques, New Brunswick, Canada, into a family of devout French Canadian Catholics two of his aunts were nuns, and one uncle was a priest.
