Converted Catholics........

[alaric]

i converted from "nothing" (or paganism), though i would like to call it "materialisim in a sea of nothingness" =P

It was very easy for me (my parents didn't care) and i was starved of love and truth (well we all seek God, having been made for Him). So when i received the fullness of what the Catholic Church possessed i was absolutely happy.

Deo Gratias.

There's a lot more to Paganism more than "nothingness". I know and work with some Pagans, their very nature oriented and anti organized religion.

They also have a lot of animosity towards Christianity, especially Catholicism. They believe the church has persecuted them from it's inception. In some ways they were right, but It's more complicated than that. sometimes I dialogue with them if their rational, most time they're not.

I'm glad you found peace in the Church.

actually , some of them are pretty organized - and you're right about the animosity. I had a woman blast me over some celtic knot tiles that I had painted - she said that Christians stole those images from the Celts. I tried to tell her that we took them and modified them to be Christian symbols, but she couldn't really hear me...

:o

I know a few Catholics in the arts that went pagan - hopefully they'll be back.

:(

Don't forget, many Prots still consider the Church a pagan offspring.

I think even some Muslims and Jews consider us "idol worshipers" if I'm correct.

BTW, I love Celtic art and music.
