I'm Protestant, wondering about Catholicism.

Well, all I can say is that the best way to learn about it is from other Catholics. From what I've seen on this forum, Catholicism is greatly misunderstood due to people learning about us from non-Catholics and anti-Catholics.

There are plenty of Catholic folks here such as NYer, Polycarp IV, Salvation, BlackElk and many others that would be happy to add you to their ping lists.

At least then you would be hearing about Catholicism from Catholics. And, then you can decide for yourself if it is for you. I hope you will find that it is.

BTW, We do read the Bible. There are three readings from it every Sunday. Though the average Catholic can benefit by increased individual study of the bible. That is something that converts from Protestantism help us to remember.

Most Catholic detractors have no idea that the Church presents EVERY SINGLE WORD of Scripture to the faithful during Mass over the course of three years. Every mundanity, every word.

The Catholic Church may not be "Scripture alone", but it is perfectly Scriptural.
