Why I Am Still a Catholic - Stephen Bujno - Bog

- Finding Someone to Love

Bag om Why I Am Still a Catholic

Sorely tested in his youth by disorienting arguments impugning the Catholic beliefs in which he was reared and toward which he had become lukewarm, he resolved not to go off in pursuit of an alternate faith belief system until he thoroughly understood the ancient faith he would be leaving behind. If bent on becoming a Protestant, he had best find out just what it was he was set to protest. His quest for knowledge increasingly strengthened and emboldened his commitment to the Church, her sacraments and rituals. He gradually discovered, largely through his ardent love for his wife, that it was not a question of What to believe but of Who. "As it turns out, there was nothing doctrinally that I needed to understand better, but rather the understanding was a penetration of the mystery of a Person." Love did not prove his increasing knowledge, but increasingly affirmed it. "I now know that I'm still Catholic because I am in a love-relation that cannot find satisfaction outside of the Body of the Person who first loved me."
