I’m interested in your reasoning for leaving Catholicism. Why? Well, because I did the opposite. I’m a convert to the Catholic Church.

The deeper I read the NT, the more Apostolic succession made sense to me...I mean the lineage is there and clear. But it wasn’t enough so I started reading the Early Church Fathers. That convinced me along with a conversion of heart and the real Christ in the Eucharist.

I did something really radical then when I was about 20 years old..

I actually went to the library, and later my home in order to do some reading.

I read the Bible, KJV version. I read it again after that.

I was mystified about certain things. I went to College. I took Divinity Courses.

I bought books, I read books, I tried to pay attention to the subject matter as I learned.

I read a lot, and I still read a lot.

I see a recent trend of Catholic apologists emerging in defense of a monolthic entity that lost its way so far back in time that it would be generous to call it the "Middle Ages".

No reason to go on.

My sentiments are not with the converts to Rome.

No personal offense intended.
