I got the same vibe from this thread. Makes me think less of Catholics.

Why? The Catholic Church is the very first Church. Of course Catholics would treat a Christian coming into the fold as a homecoming of sorts. Why get all hung up about it?

To everyone else, thank you for the suggestions.

I have nothing to add as far as recommended books, except the Douay Rheims Bible, and the Baltimore Catechism. I CAN add that my heart is so very full of joy for you! :-)

Welcome home, Ultra!

Because the focus of such statements is on the human realm rather than the heavenly one. I don't object to you joining the Catholic church, and I would recommend you read/listen to Peter Kreeft for a solidly grounded Christian Catholic theology as some recommended before me. It just bothers me that the focus here is getting Christians to join the "One True" church rather than bringing lost souls in from our increasingly pagan world.
