My husband and I spent nearly 2 years researching, investigating, and learning about the Catholic faith before we were confirmed into the Catholic faith during the Easter Vigil mass 2009. We also joined our parish's RCIA team that fall so we could continue learning and helping others discover the Catholic faith. Our first year is in the Catholic church is nearly over - what a wonderful journey we are on (and I'm sure we will be on this faith journey for the rest of our lives).
This blog is my attempt to enlighten and answer some questions that we had, that we've heard in RCIA by others, and from our non-Catholic friends and family. I am not trying to convert you to Catholicism or explain the reasons we converted. I am only trying to add knowledge and understanding (as well as tolerance) in the brains of the world. I don't think people tolerating and understand another person's religion is ever a bad thing.
One thing this blog is NOT and that's a political soapbox for anyone. There are plenty of websites where you can speak your mind on politics and religion - find those. I will not publish comments that are in that form.
The most often asked about and misunderstood practice in the Catholic Church has to do with the Mary, the Mother of Jesus. So my first blog entry - after this - will be in describing how Mary fits in the Catholic faith and how she is admired. See you then - peace be with you.
