Read John Henry Newman. He is now a saint, and he wanted to get at the truth of Christianity, the heart of Christianity. This led him to Catholicism.

Read his earlier writings, both from when he was an Anglican and when his denomination was in doubt. Newman is a great friend of converts, since he was one himself.

It's Saint John Henry Newman's feast day, /lit/! Have you read any of his poems? What about his writings on theology or philosophy?

Yes and no.

Catholicism attracts very dumb people but also very smart people. What it filters out are midwits.

Have you ever noticed that every midwit under the sun has some take about how the Church is evil, about how it should sell all its artwork, about how it's bad and wrong?

Meanwhile, on the one hand, you have poor, illiterate peasants praying to Mary and loving Jesus, and on the other hand, you have some of the most brilliant men in history, like Scotus and Aquinas and Newman, reverently worshipping Christ. Catholicism is the midwit meme as a religion. The very stupid and the very smart adore Jesus Christ through the Church. The midwits all get filitered out.

Well, Mr. Fed, I'll throw you a bone by saying that you don't need to worry about that.

That post took me three minutes to write. I have plenty of other minutes to spare, doing various things.
