Already checked it out but will go back for Sorry Sorry and Nobody. I love music, Not that really now stuff - it’s too much.

I think I’ll stick to U2. Been a fan of theirs for about 30 years or more. Now that’s fanaticism!

You know, you might want to get to know their work. They’re not a christian band, but they are a band of christians. Catch the lyrics - beautiful.

Yeah. Your last sentence is typical - we spoke about this already. When a person doesn’t know God, they don’t notice some things. (lucky for you or those posters would be coming down!!)

Take care
Frangiuliano115 speaks much wisdom. Cept for that U2 thing :D. I have heard Bono give credit to GOD. In the name of Love! 😉 There is no problem with letting in LDS. You know the Truth. Meet them out for coffee sometime maybe? You can talk to sinners too, right? The only thing I can add :rolleyes: is to use the old standby; WWJD? And don’t forget to wish them a Merry Christmas !
 
Migencluz, you sound about par for the course for people who truly love their faith. You have discovered in God the faintest gleam of the wonder and love He has for you, and it has filled your heart with the desire to know and to love Him. Rest assure that you are not fanatical, you are simply in love with our Lord and God.
 
I am discerning my vocation into the priesthood, so that may explain why I seem so interested about Christianity. However, my mom thought I’m turning into a lunatic. She bases it out from the fact that I have an altar in my room, and a religious study nook that kinda looks like an altar too. Every Sunday Mass, I have some holy cards in my missal that are for enthusiastic children to whom I can give these to. I always wear a cross around my neck, and I’m always so excited to talk about my faith. Two LDS men for three times this month, have been coming to my front doorstep. I don’t let them into the house, but I stick around outside with them for them to talk about the Mormon faith, and for me to talk about my Catholic Christian faith–and we three learn so much from that. My mom is a doctor, and have dealt with psychologically weak patients, and so she is comparing me to these people. As a nursing major myself, I know that it is a possibility that I may just not see that I really am turning into a lunatic, but I don’t see that I am, so I am kinda clueless, and I don’t know if my mom is right (btw, she claims she is okay if I become a priest, but I know that deep down, she full-heartedly can’t accept that) and that I should tone down a bit, or what. What are your thoughts?
No you are not a lunatic. Do not pay attention to that negativity. You are doing exactly what you are called to do as a Catholic. God doesn’t care for mediocrity. God wants whole hearted lovers not half hearted lovers. You are loving God with your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength. Keep up the good works. And if God is calling you to the priesthood than SO BE IT. You are doing God’s will and it is that simple. Psychology in today’s world usually entails only the physical elements and no spiritual elements. Cast out those doubts that the well meaning people in your life are probably unknowingly trying to place.

This discernment process is for you and God alone. And possibly a good faithful spiritual director like a priest.

But you are perfectly sane and actually more sane than most of the world.

God Bless you

Wait.

Are you saying something derogatory about my favorite band??

May It Never Be!

I concur, it’s the world that looks more and more fanatical now.
