Grew up in a mixed family denomination wise (dad’s presbyterian, mom is nondenominational) and grew up PCA but calvinism never sat right with me. i always assumed Transubstantiation was the truth because of course i was a kid and it just made more sense for john 6 to be literal. Fast forward a few years, i ended up losing my best friend and the daughter we had together and felt super alone. tried to learn more about calvinism but it felt so empty so i checked out orthodoxy, that one seemed like too much mental gymnastics. i looked into the early church and found out that it was Catholic and i was like “hell yeah”. I absolutely cannot wait to start RCIA this year.

What a journey, I’m very sorry for your loss sister. I can’t imagine the pain you must deal with. It’s my biggest fear in life. I hope as time goes on, you can cherish your sweet memories and the pain heals a bit. Give your suffering to the lord, it’s one thing we accept in the faith, that we must suffer, though yours is worse than most. May the lord lead you to something great. as for your journey, it’s great to hear that you found the church fathers to be Catholic, even after going to orthodoxy. I love our orthodox separated family, but I hope we can heal the divide one day. If we can, than the Protestants will be crushed. May the lord be with you sister.
