We take so much for granted in our lives! Thank you, Lord, for the gift of faith.

Wouldn't the joy have been just as true if she had become Presbyterian?

I think the issue is that the article didn’t say she converted to Christianity which is what happened.

after converting to Catholicism

Should read 'after converting to Christianity'.

One can find happiness, acceptance, fellowship, etc. by joining any church (Catholic or Presbyterian), but 'true joy' come only from Christ.

“She realized the importance of prayer and decided to convert to Catholicism.”

I got the above quote from the article. Itg is very clear she converted to Christianity.

It’s just a weird title. Protestants don’t say people were converted to Protestantism.

Not if the Catholic Church is the one true Church that Christ founded.

The article was written by a Catholic news agency but I would understand your point if it was coming from a secular source.

Despite her many difficulties, she tries to be a blessing to every one. What a beautiful spirit she has.

So, you’re saying that the joy that Presbyterians (for the sake of argument) know is false?

No, but I’ve noticed that many Protestants claim Catholics find Christianity when they become Protestants. Strange for a 16th century sect to assume it is THE Christianity when it is just what it is.
