musturde Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I'm a cradle Catholic. To me, Catholicism is the completeness of Christianity, I would never convert (I hope I'm true to my words). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 There are only two alternatives: being a jew or an atheist. Being a jew is resigning yourself to a fallen world and trying to make the best of it. Being an atheist is a cop -out. So therefore I am Catholic. Protestantism is not an option. Its only several hundred years old, it is derivitive, not original. Anybody who has spent anytime reading the early christian writers realizes they are wonderful Catholics, and anybody reading history knows there really is only one Church. THere is no way that any institution of the face of the earth could survive 2000 years without the explicit protection of Almighty God. I really see no other logical choice.

traichuoi Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I'm Christian because Jesus Christ resurrected. I'm Catholic because of the Eucharist...the Truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 because God blessed me immensly to be born into a family which baptized me in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy SPirit and did a certain miracle in memory of Him every sunday, and taught me to be sorry for my sins and to humble myself to confess them to a servant and representitive of Him who would forgive me, and confirmed me to receive the gifts of the spirit in confirmation. Couldn't have said it better myself! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immaculata Posted October 13, 2003 Share Posted October 13, 2003 Cradle Catholic... Didn't realize the beauty of the faith until freshman year when I met my best friend and his family. I'm Catholic because it is my LIFE!! Without it, I am totally lost. The Church holds the fullness of the truth, and I could never find my way without it.
