I
converted to Catholicism in college. I had grown up in an evangelical
home, and Catholicism offered me a new way to view the Bible and gave me
a sense of history and richness. In a turbulent time for me, it allowed
me to retain my faith.
Today, I am no longer religious, but this is not the fault of the Church. Rather, a series of unrelated events shook my fundamental belief in the supernatural. Still, I’ve always retained some affinity for the Catholic tradition. This affinity serves as the backdrop for my increasing disappointment with how the church is handling child sexual abuse and reforms designed to protect children.
