Hey. I’m 17 years old and have been a Baptist my entire life. But for the past couple months I’ve really been questioning that. And especially now I’ve been thinking heavily about converting to Catholicism. I’ve been researching this, but I’ve been raised in such a heavily anti-Catholic environment, I have many hesitations. My first and most lingering question is, where does the idea of Mary’s sinlessness, and ever virginity come from? Also, where does the Pope come from? And what is the scriptual basis for Purgatory? I’m comfortable with the Pope and Purgatory, but Mary’s sinlessness really makes me uncomfortable, considering I’ve been raised in the environment I have been. But I really feel this calling to Catholic Church. I love the idea of confession, and communion ever week. If you could answer these quesitons it’d be much appreciated.
