That perfectly describes my 32 year old daughter’s recent conversion to Catholicism. She’s jumped in with both feet, out-catholicing the Catholics. She prays over every COURSE of a meal. She goes to mass daily, and wears one of those head coverings. But the quote from above is obviously the spirit in which it is being done.

I’ll be sharing this article with her. She has been “brainwashed” to not read anything “blessed” by the church, but we have an understanding. I think this article is exactly what she needs.
