I was raised Episcopalian but am in the process (very slow, for me) of becoming Catholic. Can you tell me of Catholic discussion websites that would help me learn more? Thank you.

IMO, any place where they highly regard Bishop Fulton J. Sheen and our current Pope's is not a bad place to start.

I mention Bishop Sheen specifically, because he has a series of talks for people (those deciding or recent converts) who perhaps aren't aware of the reasons why Catholics do what they do. It's called "Life is worth Living" series, and although it was recorded in the 50's or 60's, it's completely relevant to today world. The man had a great foresight then about how things would so rapidly deteriorate to our current situation. These talks simply give a Catholic reasoning on the Christ, the Trinity, the Mass, the Sacraments (all of them individually discussed), the Priesthood, our Commandments, the world, love, marriage, the human soul..etc. He has also written plenty of books out there.

You can listen to his talks (mp3) on the web here
