I start this story as a raised Anglican, growing up in the christian Faith, given that I begun reading he scriptures again later in my life. I read them, but I had to read them again and again. I would always see that the Catholics are christian. I was still searching for what would be my faith, I was somehow searching like I was pushed. I went to churches again, first community church, then to my Anglican church. I am now look At Catholicism and my journey has said a few things:

1). I have not questioned my faith what so ever

I have just believed in Jesus Christ and anything. I am having this issue that I am uncertain about what authorised my faith. There is no order to it all and I had to build up my Faith. It was hard to defend my faith and it was more blind. taking the research and acceptance of that I didn’t know was a treat for me.

2). I need to understand my faith and what it means to me; the less my religion was at first a identity and not a truth I follow. I am growing in my faith now. yet I feel I must clarify what my Christianity is to be. What does it mean to be a Christian. What does it mean to be Truly Human. To know the truth and the right from wrong.

Please help me to understand better that the Catholic church, the one I truly believe to be founded by Christ. Is that it is the fullness of Faith. Catholic or Orthodox. what is scriptural, what is tradition and faithful that Hell could never consume. How is it the fullness of my faith. what am I going though and what by the power I am to be drawn to you lot?
 
Difficult points to answer. Here’s my take:

1- it sound like you want to stretch your faith. I am at a similar point right now. I would suggest reading around the bible (biblical commentaries, books on history, systematic theology textbooks if you want to dive in the deep end). It may also help to read other Christian viewpoints you may not (currently) agree with to stretch your faith.
2- Not sure I can help with this one, beyond what I suggested in point one. at the end of the day, your faith is your own.
3- On the Roman Catholic side, it may be worth asking a priest about the differences between Roman Catholicism and Anglicanism. To go further it may be worth asking to go to confirmation classes to understand the catholic nuances.
 
Maybe I need a break… come back to it later

Enroll in RCIA and learn and ask you questions in real life.
They don’t hold your feet to the ire. If you’re not ready to convert they won’t force it on you.
