    Catholicism: overwhelmed by it all

    Hello! I have some Catholicism questions… Basically: I’ve decided that I want to convert to Catholicism (from Protestantism) I’ve followed a Catholic friend’s advice and made my first steps by starting to attend evening mass at my local church (with my Catholic friend) and have spoken with...

    Christianity without Satan?

    As a person who was a Unitarian for around six years I'm pretty sure that if someone turned up to the church I went to and proclaimed themselves a Satanist that they'd be tolerated and maybe even welcomed

    Christianity without Satan?

    Oh no! I don't believe in Satan's ways - I am very much opposed to him! If I remember correctly I vowed to explicitly shun him when I got confirmed earlier this year (in a Christian church) But I believe he exists, and I believe the bible says he does too As I said before, he was worried...

    Christianity without Satan?

    I'm sorry but I have to disagree: It was a Unitarian church, the type of place where you'll find no talk of being saved through Lord Jesus Christ And I never mentioned Satan worship, the topic of evil came up in the after service coffee gathering and I mentioned a belief in Satan - and I think...

    Christianity without Satan?

    I believe in Satan/The Devil (but not as a red dude with horns etc.) But many Christians don’t, even though he’s clearly in the bible But can Christianity work (i.e. make sense) without the concept of The Devil? I say it can’t Light without darkness makes no sense Does anyone here think...

    questions from a potential convert

    Thanks for your reply :) So you're saying that I can enter a state of grace before I become Catholic? That seems to go against my understanding of things. How does that work? Or have I misunderstood? Edit: I am prone to misunderstandings!
