I've been a lurker and occasional poster here in OBOB. I'm currently a LCMS Lutheran, but the more I study the early church, the more I realize the Catholic Church fits that. I looked East for a little while, but there are growing schisms there.
All that said, I think I'm ready to take the swim across the Tiber. I've flirted with this in the past and my wife was having none of it. She said she wouldn't go to Mass, our children would not be Catholic, etc. She is a wonderful, Godly woman, but when it comes to matters of theology, she takes the "everything has been corrupted throughout history, I do what Jesus tells us to to in the Scriptures and guess we'll know the answers when we get to heaven," approach.
Has anybody here converted without their spouse? And yes, I've read Rome Sweet Rome but I just can't see my wife coming around like Kimberly did. I'm thinking of reaching out to the priest at the parish I would attend to seek his guidance, but wanted to know if anyone here has any advice as well.
Thank you.
