Oh, it wouldn’t surprise me if one day I found myself fully immersed in the Catholic faith again. I’ve always followed an odd, round-about path in life, but my heart is open to Word.
The problem is my stubborn resistance to rigidity and conformity. I agree with just about everything the Catholic church declares on social matters, and do not have any qualms with the divinity of Christ. But there are other things I believe which are contrary to Catholic dogma. (I don’t want to delve into that right now.)
My mother often loves to relate the story of St Augustine and St Monica to me, although I don’t think I was ever as bad as that. :)
Ok, if you do want to delve into that later, send me some FReepmail. :)
It sounds like you’ve got the major bones of contention down so it surprises me you’re looking on the outside.
