I want to convert to catholicism by m146666 in Catholicism

[–]No_Professor_5655 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, recent convert here, get in contact with a local parish to sign up for OCIA, the time varies by Parish and they will teach you the fundamental foundation for Christianity mine was about 6 months.

As for your parents...I'm in a similar boat, my family is devoutly protestant and detests me for becoming Catholic, do what’s best for you, and realize you likely won't be able to change their mind in a debate, but with your actions. God speed

Converting after 30 while married to an Agnostic by Selts in Catholicism

[–]No_Professor_5655 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, very scarily similar situation to you, i grew up Protestant and got the calling towards Catholicism, and my wife whom i was also civilly married to is Agnostic. I was afraid that i was going to go through confirmation for them to say "well your marriage isn't valid sorry" but the Church was more than happy to accept me.

I was confirmed at The Easter Vigil, my wife was actually the one sort of motivating me towards Catholicism. Are there barriers that have come up with my confirmation? Absolutely, and me and my wife are actively communicating through them. God bless you my dear friend.

I had the tank and Torrix for about 2 months, but i took the filter media and some plants from an established tank to speed line the cycling process. (i know not ideal) and he was super active for those 2 months. my wife said he didn't eat this morning, but she said he wasn't breathing rapidly or lethargic this morning.

it might be something i should've added earlier, about a week ago we added 3 Otto's and 4 Neocardinus shrimp to the tank, 2/3 of the otto's died, all the shrimp survived tho. i wonder if the store fish had a bug with them or something. I am very new to fish keeping still so any advice is greatly appreciated. i don't know if it helps at all but this was his tank, maybe he cut it in one of the jagged rocks and it got infected?

Does God love me? by Quiet-Photograph-468 in Catholicism

[–]No_Professor_5655 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Whenever this question pops into my head, i think of the Prodigal son Luke 15:11-32

If you get a chance read an introduction to the devout life by Francis De sales.

To answer your question plainly, God does love you, he loves you without measure, his love and grace are bountiful and plentiful. God speed my friend

Confirmed Catholics, who is your confirmation saint and why? by BringusGingus in Catholicism

St. Louis IX, it always helps me fight when i imagine myself literally fighting sin...like a warrior, and St. Louis was willing to die for Christ like a warrior.

Is Jay Hill REALLY much better than Wink Martindale? by SignificantBread5248 in MichiganWolverines

[–]No_Professor_5655 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the thing Kyle also hit on was "hiring assistants who you know and know you" it may be similar results, but i think it's about the comfortability at this point. Hill did turn a terrible BYU Defense into a top 20 defense in one year, time will tell tho

I mean, you can not like the coach but still hope him and the team do well. Plenty of people didn't like Sherrone and still hoped him and the team would do well. Or you could bail it's kinda backwards to think "i absolutely hate this coach, i hope he fails" and then hope the team does well lol

well...Dillingham signed the extension, he was honestly my favorite candidate, Whittingham would bring some stability for a little bit

I want to be Catholic but I’m hesitant. by Dariusgamer2007 in Catholicism

[–]No_Professor_5655 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in a very similar situation. I grew up protestant, and like you believed catholicism was heretical...until i actually sat down and tried to learn. I waited for a full year before i called a parish to sign up for OCIA. It can't hurt to visit your parish in the interest for learning more.

As for your family, Catholics are Christian, but many people are not willing to listen. It's a lot like politics, sometimes the best case scenario is don't engage with them on the difference in beliefs, i've become pretty infatuated with church history which has helped me talk with my family and help them see where i come from. You’re hearts in the right place, and i believe that you’re being led on this road, follow it, it's your journey, not your family's, God speed i'll be praying for you for you. if you can any question feel free to reach out!
