Hello all. I'm new to the board. I'm a recent convert to the Catholic faith and a big fan of philosophy. Hope to have some enlightening conversations.

I am actually only now beginning the process. I will start undergoing RCIA in about two months. If you are curious to know more, I will be happy to update you as I go through the process.
Thank you for the welcome.
RCIA? Roman Catholic Indoctrination Association?
A quick googling would remedy your ignorance:

i won't be able to post as usual for the nexy few weeks because i had a car accident this morning and boke my collar bone. i need surgery on wed.
it is too hard, too slow, and too tiring (especially with the pain killers) to type.
good luck with your process, i would suggest, however, that, as part of that process, you take time to speak with a few "recovered catholics" as well.
that sucks, hope your up and feeling better soon.

Kool? Do they teach you to cover up child abuse by the priesthood or does that just come with experience?
I'm sorry to hear that, Openmind; I will hope and pray for a speedy recovery for you. And if you are up for it (I assume you are yourself a "recovered Catholic") I would like to take you up on your offer when you recover. Be well.
Thank you.
Yes, while I remain a firm believer in God, and i respect every religions who are not fundamentalist enough to negate by their narrow interpretation of the
holy books the much broader message of the universal, uniting God, I have evolved in a way that allows me to find an inner connecion with my personal but universal God though using some of God's greatest gifts to mankind: free will, intelligence, and intuition.
I do believe that God created mankind to His/Her/It's image. Unfortunately, I also believe that Mankind, with it's cultural, racial, intellectual, and time defined limitations have instead recreated a muc smaller, much more limited image of God to men's image.
This is today the basis of my relationship with God. A lot more to come if/when you are interested.
