The depth and breadth of a familiarity with Catholicism, ie doctrine, documents, canon law, papal statements, et al, even if only to pose pertinent questions in a series of many posts, in someone self-identifying as a 15 year old growing up in an anti-Catholic family has had me saying “hmmm”
for sometime now.Indeed. Post 57 seems particularly surprising and unlikely to come from a 15 year old non-Catholic.The depth and breadth of a familiarity with Catholicism, ie doctrine, documents, canon law, papal statements, et al, even if only to pose pertinent questions in a series of many posts, in someone self-identifying as a 15 year old growing up in an anti-Catholic family has had me saying “hmmm”
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penal_Laws_(IrelandHello Falco! Do you have a reference to support this claim?
I am not a troll if that is what you are thinking. I’ve wanted to be Catholic for a long time. I love to study the Faith and the lives of the saints. Please do not judge me by my age. I wish everyone else my age had as much knowledge of the Faith as I do. As St. Jerome said, “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ.”
Maybe he’s just a smart kid who loves learning about Catholicism. He said he’s thinking about being a priest.
I’m 16 years old and have been interested in the worlds religions my whole life. I taught myself Hebrew in 4th grade and learned about Judaism. I also learned Greek and studied the Greek orthodox Church. I have even taken 4 years of Latin classes and found for myself the truth in the Catholic Church. I come from Protestantism just like bben15 and I found my way across the Tiber just like he has.
Thank you, Landon.
Fair enough, I will take your word for it. I must say that I find your familiarity with so many topics including Catholic doctrine, Church history, Eastern religions, and Protestant denominations and the ease with which you quote popes, saints, canon law and council documents simply amazing, especially given your age and background.
Well, I meant it.That warmed my heart. Thank you.
