I learned that when the early Christians ...

Read "I've now been indoctrinated ..."

You wrote: “Read “I’ve now been indoctrinated ...”

So learning on her own is indoctrination? How do you figure that?

“Another case of “Tiberculosis”.

So in your view becoming a Catholic is a disease? Wow, what bigotry.

tiberculosis

LOL.

"These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever.

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.

For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them." -- 2 Peter 2:17-21

I don’t think so. She talks about faith above. Please re-read the article. (Finding the same faith that she had in St. Patrick.)

For the next several months I read the writings of those men who had learned the Christian faith from the very mouth of Christ and the Apostles.

What is she talking about here? The Bible? What other Apostolic writings are there? Does she consider St. Patrick an Apostle???

I began to familiarize myself with the culture and time of the Apostles and realized that Christianity in its earliest days was not Bible centered (indeed most of the NT was not written yet and later was not available for the masses) but Tradition centered.

Every worship of every early Christian, then as well as today, was and should be centered on the word of God. Her history is as weak as her theology.

I learned that when the early Christians went to Church their services were not sermon centered but centered around the Eucharist, the Lord's Supper, which was not seen as a symbol but as the actual Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

None of this is true. The preaching of the word of God was and is always the centerpiece of all worship...

"And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God." -- Luke 4:4

And most certainly the Apostles themselves did not believe they were actually eating the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ because He was sitting alive alongside them as He instructed them to partake of the Lord's Supper -- "do this in remembrance of me."

Pity she has so much confusion in her life.
