A friend of mine seems to be going this route. In this case, it seems to me that he is seeking external guidance and formalism over the ill-defined ‘freedom’ too many Protestants hold to be orthodox truth. The ritual and complexities of Catholicism are very similar to what he has sought in many avenues of his life already. The internal freedoms he has pursued leave him confused and aimless - some by his own admission. I suspect this is the case for many experiencing this ‘revelation’ but I do not dismiss earnest searchers. If my suspicions are correct, these individuals will be no more satisfied inwardly than they were before.

Just my $0.02.

Some need structure to help them grow spiritually, just as a pole bean needs the pole or after an injury, I needed a knee brace to give my knee/leg the required support to help me recover. And giving your friend support on his way to a firmer faith in Jesus and His Father is the best thing you can do. And pray that your friend will find “satisfaction” and a firm faith.
