I hate to sound cynical, but she didn’t mention Christ.
You have no idea what she mentioned, beyond what the author and editor of the piece conveyed.
Google St. Patrick’s Breastplate. Christ is in every line.
"The 22-year-old Yale graduate says she came to believe “that the Moral Law wasn’t just a Platonic truth, abstract and distant. It turns out I actually believed it was some kind of Person, as well as Truth. And there was one religion that seemed like the most promising way to reach back to that living Truth.”
Once you have arrived at the conviction that the Truth is a person, you are well on your way. That comes from the imprint of the Creator on her heart. Plenty of people have come to Christ with less understanding.
When she is accepted into the Church she must make a profession of faith based on the Nicene Creed which has the following words:
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,That is good enough for me and should be good enough for you.
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” I pray that she is for real.
Yes she did, who do you think she meant by,
“It turns out I actually believed it was some kind of Person, as well as Truth. And there was one religion that seemed like the most promising way to reach back to that living Truth.” ?
