Quote:Interesting story. I was raised in a Christian home. I was baptized as an infant in the Anglican church. My parents are Christians but as a child growing up we went to many different churchs from many different denominations. Eventually they settled on Presbyterian, specifically, the PCA wing of the Presbyterian church which is more conservative.
My wife was Catholic when I met her. In fact it was my influence that made her leave the Catholic church and join my church in which we were married. The funny thing is that now, in the course of my own study and prayer, I feel drawn to the Catholic church. Not so much because I believe their teachings to be without error (because man is sinfull even the church can go through periods of false teachings but ultimately the Holy Sprit sustains Her) but because biblically and historically I am starting to believe that they are the church which Christ started on earth under the authority of Peter.
So, with each of us, it appears that our wives played a role in our development in our respective faiths.
Well, according to my experience with Christians in general i found that Catholic people are more easy to become Muslims. I don’t know what the reason is but they are very open minded and once they hear the truth about Jesus and Marry and their stories in the Qur'an they shed tears and accept the truth. I found that "Born again" (OH MY GOD) they are unbearable and can never listen to you with an open mind and open heart. They are very emotional people and very difficult to deal with.
So it’s good that you are considering the Catholic Church now. Maybe it’s the first step towards Islam :)
