If I were going to convert to any religion I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female saints and the Virgin Mary.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was a convert to Catholicism, and converts are much more devout.
There's an interesting contrast between born Catholics and converts. Converts are often much more rule-directed. Catholicism isn't something that they breathed in from their childhood, so they think that if you don't toe the line on abstract doctrine you can't be part of the Church.
Conversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.
If we get you in the early years of your life and we fill your head with all of the Catholic stories, then it's very hard for you to stop being Catholic. Catholics are Catholics because they like being Catholic.
I am a Catholic because I choose to be a Catholic. And then I go to the Mass because I choose. It is out of my free will.
People who are stuck in a Catholic church, that's OK for them because that's what they need right now.
You know, in high school I thought Catholicism was funny and sort of ridiculous, but then I also liked it, too. Like, I definitely turned to it in times of trouble.
I don't have a preferred religion - I'd have to do research. I was born a Christian, but as I've grown into my own man, I don't attach myself to a religion - 100 per cent, I have faith. Then it's locking into what suits me.
I'd given up Catholicism in my teens but something of it stays with me. I try to create the perfect sentence - that's as close to godliness as I can get.
I can't bear Catholicism.
