Indeed it do..."the generalization holds"<br /><br />Indeed it does. Someone with a D-grade knowledge of Christian faith can be easily persuaded by someone with C-grade.<br /><br />This reflects on the American phenomenon of well-informed non-Catholic Christians becoming Catholic, while Catholics of little knowledge leave the Church.kkollwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17691145638703824456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781753636089506134.post-41102069207858400222010-10-04T22:20:02.114-04:002010-10-04T22:20:02.114-04:00KK: That is a large part of the problem.

I always craved an orderly liturgy - except I could not have communicated that to you at that time. Perhaps it was the dignity of it? <br /><br />I remember reading The Thorn Birds and one character says to another "you'd have to convert if you weren't already Catholic" - and that totally resonated with me.<br /><br />Since I was 7 or 8 I always had a very strong attraction to the Eucharist even though I didn't know what (or Who) it was until I was about 15. It took another 23 years to get myself straightened out but here I am (by the grace of God!)Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046773358292402621noreply@blogger.com
