My Journey from Protestantism to Catholicism: A Personal Reflection
It was a crisp Australian autumn morning in 1976 when I experienced a dramatic conversion to Protestantism. At the time, I had little knowledge of the specific beliefs and practices of the Protestant church. Little did I know that this moment would set me on a path that would span over 40 years, taking me from serving as an ordained Minister in Australia, the USA, and the UK, to where I find…

*The Eucharist is the body of Christ under the appearances of bread and wine.
**God is bound to these sacraments, meaning he always gives grace through them when they are done, but he is not bound by these sacraments, meaning that God can do literally whatever he wants and can of course go around them and provide grace in other ways.
***7 sacraments, listed: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Confession, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony.
Feel free to add nuance in the tags or talk about why you find the teachings strange! Let me know if there's anything utterly baffling that I didn't include!!!
Also please remember to be respectful!!! Not everyone knows theology like you might!!!

Post written at 9h50AM, as I waited for the friar
I'm here. I came to talk to the friar and I'm freaking out a little bit.
It's weird, it feels like I'm a criminal. I'm literally trembling.
My points today are:
I have been a protestant for a long long time, but now I feel like I fell in a limbo between catholicism and protestantism. H E L P
Can I do the catechism to see if thats what I really want?
What about the spiritual gifts and stuff?
Missions
The purgatory!?!?!?!?!?
It feels so weird to be here :/ Even though I got happy when I scheduled it, I feel so worried.
Pray for me.
#catholic#christian#catholic tumblr#christianity#catholicism#protestantism#protestant to catholic#this type of fear makes me want to die#what if im wrong and being God's worst kid right now?#maybe theres nowhere i can go. maybe im searching for a relationship scheme with God that doesnt even exist.#im so tired of all the pentecostal shenanigans

Okay the Catholics get a win for this one. Because on this episode of "Am I going to convert to Catholicism" I actually prayed to a saint for the first time.
I was kind of going through it (kind of relapsed into my katabasis arc ig) and my relationship with God was struggling because of it. I was mad. Like really mad, because I felt abandoned by him. And so I couldn't pray. I didn't want to hear from them. Because why the heck would you leave me to begin with??? There was all this pent up negative feelings I had towards them and I didn't feel like I could go directly to God.
But, @patron-saint-of-lesbeans recomended reaching out to Mary and asking for intercession on my behalf.
Now, I'm not some radical protestant or anything, and i was completely okay with people praying to the saints, but for me personally I didn't think it was something i'd ever do.
But I did.
And now I think I get it.
Sometimes I can't approach the Throne of Grace because the throne doesn't feel particularly gracious. Sometimes I can't approach Mercy because they don't feel particularly merciful. Sometimes I can't approach God because God doesn't feel particularly loving.
But I can approach Mary, who is full of Grace, who is the Mother of Mercy, the Mother of God, and she can help lead me to the Prince of Peace.
So just... thank you. Thank you Rj, thank you Mary, and thank you God.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) stands as a sacred and transformative journey within the Catholic Church, welcoming individuals into the rich tapestry of Catholicism.

Sometimes the narrative I've gotten from my protestant/evangelical upbringing (and current leaders too!) is that Catholics are too strict.... Yet sometimes I'm told they're too flippant.... Which is it?? Make up your mind people

today I woke up feeling bad. I was the depressive kind of tired, the day was good, but it was hard to carry with it. I saw my boyfriend and we laughed a lot, really helped me.
What I'm here to tell is: I made an appointment to talk to a friar. Yes, that's it. I'm so so so happy. I'm going to explain to him my concerns and doubts, I'm SO happy. You guys have no idea of how happy this made me.
Shout out to my boy that took me to the church so I could do it. I'm SOOOOO happy!
#catholic tumblr#catholic#catholicism#protestant to catholic#I'M HAPPY!#maybe this is why I was feeling so weak today? some spiritual problem? idk

I've been seeing this more and more recently, so I'm curious what you all think about this.
Feel free to include in the tags why you voted a particular way.
#Christianity#Catholicism#Orthodox Christianity#Protestantism#Religion#I know 'other Christian denomination' would likely come under Protestant for a lot of people. But there's some people that don't identify#as Protestant despite not being Orthodox or Catholic#so it saves those arguments lol#If you're a Catechumen then vote for the denomination that you're converting to#If you're just considering Christianity but aren't sure on a denomination etc then vote 'Other'

guy who so desperately tries to find god. who wants to have faith in a higher authority to guide him out of the hole he's in. from the weight of guilt from simply existing, as the person he is. but every time he thinks he's answered his higher calling it turns out he's made the Morally Incorrect choice and his path to goodness and holiness was the road to the devil all along
#now trusting god will give you a way out? there's your real crime!!!#guy betrayed by the protestant promise of a direct connection with god. but is also somehow. joan of arc.#see he never achieves actual martyrdom tho bc he's not allowed to stay dead lmaooo#sam somehow the most unintentionally catholic AND protestant character of all time#dean the atheist who sees religious predestination as the curse it is from the get go. framed as the narrative's Real Moral Authority#but also in the process reifying patriarchal familial power n authority. very very important Value of the Church#i don't think it's that deep. the show's attempt at critiquing christianity. but the way it reinforces christian cultural values???#'religious predestination and absolute faith in a higher authority...bad'#nice nice ok tell me more?#“so you should put your faith in family. in your patriarch (big brother)”#?????????#the thematic incoherence of it all. it's like the world's stupidest puzzle box to me. i can't leave it alone.#sam = maybe i can find god thru following my destined path. wait oh shit.#cas = maybe i can find god thru rebellion and seeking my own destiny. wait oh shit.#dean = god is fucking dead and me i also feel not so good#the “guy who so desperately wants to find god parallel” <- me coming out as a secret sastiel fan#both of them...finding god in de-[sniper on the roof kills me in one shot]#spn bible studies#j.txt
