I met a guy. A sandy haired, enthusiastic, charismatic guy. The first thing he asked me was “are you Catholic?” That’s a pretty lousy pick up line, but it still worked.

I was honest enough to realize that my main hang ups about the Church were based on my upbringing. The Eucharist was my biggest stumbling block. The majority of doctrine made logical sense to me but I could never convert if I did not truly believe in the Eucharist.

I had a cultural bias against the True Presence and I didn’t know how to get past it.

A well-written story, but with a strange omission. Is her husband the guy she met on the train? I must know.
