Cradle Catholic vs. Convert: No Lightning-Bolt Conversion Needed

Online Catholic culture is full of dramatic conversion stories. But what if your faith never came with a lightning bolt? Peter Sammons (@SammonsRPeter) grew up a cradle Catholic. He was an altar server, then went to Franciscan, and he says the faith became his own gradually: "You have to just show up every day." Anthony talks about drifting from the sacraments without ever leaving the Church. The guys take on Protestant "testimony culture," explain why a strong sense of mortal sin is a gift, and remember a charismatic youth retreat where everyone was crying except one confused kid.

Then Majorian (@majoriansmusing) tells how he went from Southern Baptist to Catholic. He describes a feminized youth group and a quarter-mile stretch with eight churches. Because "it just doesn't make sense that there wouldn't be some final authority," he read his way through Church history. He had never been baptized, so he came in through the "three for one special." Plus: why God was wise to make the priesthood male.
