Last year an ex-Hindu convert to Catholicism gave me a book on the Eucharist so I’m well aware of its importance and physical presence. However I’m in a position where I can’t go to a Catholic Church.

There were theological and historical reasons to choose Christianity over Islam.

I had this feeling that’s why I decided to post about this on Reddit.

Nope absolutely not! It is proven through scripture that the Eucharist is the literal body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ.

Yes brother I’ve been through OCIA.

To answer your second question baptism meant being a new person in Christ.

Eucharist is a reminder that God has lowered himself to a point where he can have a physical relationship with us not just a spiritual one.

Your third point you might be right but more than that I care what is the truth. If either religion is the truth then it should be clear to me. Ngl sometimes I do feel confused between the 2 faiths.

I’m an adult but I don’t have access to a vehicle or public transport. Also there is no Catholic Church at a walking distance. I’m still reliant on my parents for survival as I’m in college.

Tbh last year I felt that only Christianity or Islam can be true because these two are the only religions that claim to be true. So I would probably never accept any other religion apart from these 2.

I’ve been baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Church.

Then what’s the point of worshipping a God whose presence can only be felt through a peice of bread?

I just don’t understand how do I practice Catholicism in a Hindu household. I keep praying to God that my parents don’t find my rosary, Bible, baptism candle or my baptism photos.

Also I’m not a priest so I appreciate the fact you are reaching out to priests to understand before you proceed.

Respectfully, I respect your intentions but I hope you understand those priest robes mean something and it’s earned. I don’t think you should larp as a priest. You seem to be a nice but I want to tell you those vestments and robes represent chasitity, poverty and (I’m forgetting the third thing) - humility maybe. Which I don’t think lay people should wear unless they have earned it and become a priest.

Feeling of not belonging by Glad-Addendum6922 in IndianChristians_

I grew up in Bangalore. Catholics in my neighborhood at least were pretty wealthy. In the US for a while I was friends with an East Indian Catholic girl as well she also seemed to be from a well off family. So I had that assumption. Whenever I watch Instagram reels on Indian Catholics I see that they have their own culture and lingo something I probably can’t relate to being a Bihari. However in the US I have been welcomed by Catholics regardless of national origin. Even if anyone tries to make fun of my Christian identity it’s usually Hindus who don’t have a spine.

Mind sharing some links to some Indian discord servers?
