baptized a catholic, raised a protestant. what a dilemma. I just suppose that protestantism isnt doing much for me.

ive found so many wonderful books like “catholicism for dummies”
these things amuse me.

whatever happens, i know God will be with me.

I’ve done my journey through the RCIA.

I’m a Catholic!

For months I’ve attended three Masses on Sunday, and watched person after person receive Communion – and I could never do that. How I longed to do so.. And I did it today. =)

This is not the end of my journey. As a Catholic, I shall never be done learning!

So – the title of this entry says it all.. I’m getting baptized in 3 days (Saturday.) I’m so excited – I can’t even explain the joy that I have right now.

I have never felt this spiritual in my life before. I feel so close to God. I’m loving it!! It’s a wonderful thing to be close to my Heavenly Father.

I’ll have to write more after I get baptized.

Wish me luck! =)

So, I’m still in my classes (of course), and I just recently went through the whole Rite of Election thing. That was pretty interesting.

Again – I get baptized on Easter. Easter is coming sooner this year! Yay!

I also recently got the nerve up to ask my parish deacon to bless my Rosary (as the priest was unavailable at the moment..), so that was good. I’ve been wanting to do that for a while.

I’ll let you all know how everything turns out!

I’m currently taking the RCIA classes. I’m on the road to becoming a Catholic! I find the religion so beautiful. I’m extremely excited about my baptism!! :]

Became a Catholic years ago (former Protestant) with absolutely no regrets! The depth of the Church is unfathomable to those who are not in it! No going back for this Catholic! :-)

One of the things that was the final straw for both DH and I was reading Martin Luther’s works, and really reading both sides of the history at the time. While the Church had some issues at the time, so did Martin Luther in a big way. Luther’s complaints did not justify himself thinking he was above “even the apostles themselves” in forming a new Church, nor was Luther the saint many try to make him out to be.

There is a lot of disinformation in the Protestant history- and if you research stuff, I highly recommend taking a more neutral approach and using sources from Protestant, Catholic, and non-Christian sources, also going to the source documents themselves and tracing book’s bibliograpies for accuracy and representation of quotes. We uncovered so many deceptive “histories” and poor research in the Protestant books it was not even funny, and we were quite disappointed.

Jesus prayed that ‘they all might be one’ and I have a hard time believing he would just accept the ‘cafeteria approach’ to Church. At this point there are how many denominations out there?

After being on the outer of the Catholicism at private schools it was great to be welcomed into the faith. Being baptised and confirmed on 7th April 2007.

If your interested in Catholicism ring your local parish and they will tell you about the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults Catholic (RCIA). It is open to both the unbaptised (known as elect) and the baptised (known as candidates) and starts in September (if I recall correctly).
