Hello CAF! Long-time on/off listener to the radio program. I have only lurked here for a short time.
I’m a Reformed Protestant and have studied and have had personal experience with the RCC, EO, Anglican, and Lutheran traditions. Either on my own or via close friends. I have long had sympathies with the Catholic Church and never been one to hate the church or her members as some protestants.
I recently acquired “Making Sense of Mary” by Gary G. Michuta from Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Any other recommendations? I’m ok with Mary as the Mother of God and frankly have never had a problem with this. Nor do I have a problem “flirting” with the remaining three dogmas. I guess it’s the idea of the Church binding the conscience (requiring?) of its members in what seems like a similar fashion to belief in something like the doctrine of the Trinity.
This is not my only hang-up with the Catholic Church,
but it’s where I’m at right now. I do have a copy of the Catechism and stopped reading it a few months ago. I tend to go in a back and forth struggle with being drawn towards the Church then pushing it away…for a looong time.
I would appreciate anything else ya’ll could share. Preferrably from a “hey I know some protestants were helped by this” or “I am a convert and this really helped me” sort of way.
Thanks!
