Why not? Let people do what they want. Catholicism has its issues but it’s nowhere close to whatever the fuck american protestants or the other three billion denominations they came up with are doing.
I’m not forbidding anything. Just curious. People often ask me why I’m an atheist, but most find it really odd or get defensive when I ask them back. I don’t know why. It’s easier to not believe. All the few answers I’ve got for faith have been wildly different.
Jesus Christ appointed Peter as the rock of his church (literally Cephas, meaning rock) and he told him to “feed my sheep”. And he gave him the keys to heaven. (Why I chose Catholicism)
We have a lot of historical and philosophical proof for the existence of Jesus Christ and his divinity, and a lot of proven miracles as well. (Why I have faith in Christ)
So you chose it? I think you’re the first Catholic convert I’ve met. And it was hearing / reading the recruitment of Peter that was the turning point? Was it something that resonated with you or was it something else?
And don’t forget the Bible was made up by a bunch of illiterate men who could barely read or write, basically playing the game of telephone with all the stories written in the Bible. Oh and a great way to control the masses is to make it a death cult, so you can do whatever you want on life, and as long as you “repent” you’ll get into a perfect place with perfect people
as a Catholic, what
Why?

Yeah, I chose Catholicism.
and Peter being given the keys to heaven and being the first Pope is undeniable proof of catholicism
I’m struggling to find anything that confirms Peter was a real person.
If you just swallow the sacred history of the RCC and run with ‘maybe the bible is true’ but that works with loads of religions.
You surely can’t be reading the Book of Acts as history?

repenting involves hating your sin and turning away from it
