Goodnight goodnight

Someone asked me via DM what led me to Catholicism and I wrote this. I hope it helps others! “So…I grew up Southern Baptist too, in a pretty controlling environment, and honestly saw a lot of hypocrisy growing up. That kind of set me on a long path of questioning, especially as I worked through trauma and life stuff. I went through an agnostic phase because I kept asking questions and the only answers I got were basically, “the Bible says it, that settles it.” That wasn’t enough for me. I needed something intellectually honest. So I started digging. Apologetics, history, philosophy… looking at the case for God, for Christ, all of it. That brought me back to belief, but I still wasn’t settled. I spent time in Reformed/Presbyterian circles too. What really shifted things was when I started seriously studying Church history… like, what actually happened during the Reformation, who Luther was, what was going on culturally and politically. And then reading the early Church Fathers. That was the turning point. When I saw that what the early Christians believed and practiced looked a lot more like Catholicism than anything I had known, I couldn’t unsee it. I still have questions, I’m still learning, but my faith in Christ has deepened more than it ever was before. And I bring my questions to Him, not away from Him. If you’re feeling that emptiness, I’d just say… follow it honestly. Don’t ignore it. Look into the history for yourself. And if you do explore Catholicism, finding a good parish makes a huge difference.” It’s a journey, but it’s been really worth it for me

Ten more calls THIS BITCH IS IGNORING MY LOVE

@robkajun Ooooo I’m on it

@Benedicta_Bee Those are some great books. I highly recommend Brant Pitre’s books, especially on the roots of the pillars of Catholicism. Fascinating stuff that brought me much closer to my faith.

Books, re: Catholicism. I have somehow misplaced some (probably in my big box to “distribute”) in my smol apartment. But here are some books I have/are reading which brought me to the Catholic faith.

This was a request.
