So, basically, this person wasn't serious about his faith until he was older and in college. At that time, he happened to start to go to a Catholic church, which he felt ministered to his college-needs.

His arguments make it sound as though he could have just as easily attended other campus churches.

So he chose Catholicism seemingly largely from convenience.

Not a great conversion story to hear for Catholicism.

This is a story of growth, — a rather typical Catholic conversion story. Most Catholic converts do not go away from their old faith, they simply grow into the Catholic Church.

No it was a great story. See, we are mindless fools who should base our spiritual beliefs on some guy we don't even know, because we know he must be smarter than us. I am convinced.
