8. I was never Baptized as a child , my mom gave me the choice ...

My mom gave me the choice to choose my own spiritual path . I grew up in the Baptist church , in the south . But for the past 4 years or so I have been wanting to know more about Catholicism .

6. I converted when I was 21.

I've never been happier belonging to any other organization. It gives me a great swelling of pride to be a part of a church so rich in history and with such tradition.

9. Now that is good to know.

7. It;s such a personal decision that I hesitate to influence your decision

I was raised in the faith. There certainly are flaws. However, the mass never fails to move me. Be happy to answer any questions.

10. Is It Transubstantiation?

Is it transubstantiation . . . or just sleight of hand?

13. I recently had a debate with some friends on this very issue

Me and my Jesuit-trained collegue argued that it's not symbolic.
