I had, I guess (from the limited data) a similar path to the author’s. I was brought up as a Protestant, became a non-Christian as an adolescent (my “existentialist period”), and then became a Catholic as an adult. I began attending the Catholic Church when I was 20, and was Confirmed when I was 26.
It would be interesting to know what, exactly, led him this way.
Wow, other then changing the years from 20 to 19, and from 26 to 25, your experience matches mine.
What church were you brought up in? My mom was Anglican.
