Found you via my friend at Old World Swine.<BR/><BR/>I grew up non-denom, with the same blurry prejudices towards the Catholic Church you wonder about here. Once I got to college those stereotypes were quickly debunked via specific friendships.<BR/><BR/>I'm one of the schmucks Tim Jones referred to in his first post on his conversion who asked him how it all came about. I've always been curious to hear about people's testimonies, as it were, and as I've gotten farther into why he (and a number of other people I know of or know personally) became Catholic I can sympathize with, even though I'm still in a non-denom church.<BR/><BR/>There are, it seems to me, some things in Catholicism that I won't ever be able to understand. That said, there are thing in non-denom evangelicalism that make me shake my head from time to time as well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37222179.post-83896713093704785572008-07-14T08:31:00.000-04:002008-07-14T08:31:00.000-04:00"I just can't understand why others would rather s..."I just can't understand why others would rather scapegoat Mother Church than come home to where we all belong"<BR/><BR/>'cause it's easier than scapegoating one's self.<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, could have written the same thing myself, 'course there is the "I don't get it" post about cradle Catholics who receive the Eucharist, but who haven't been to confession since they were 13. <BR/><BR/>pray, pray, pray 4 allD'artagnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09920971697935071513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37222179.post-69179877127305175712008-07-12T15:07:00.000-04:002008-07-12T15:07:00.000-04:00What a great post!

Maybe your title of this post is wrong - instead of "I Don't Get It" the title should be "They Don't Get It".David Nybakkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13172189118334371454noreply@blogger.com
