Re: AEPHI Alum's question: I thought you had to have had your first confession before your first communion? I don't think there's a hard and fast rule regarding the order in which you first make your Communion and when you make your Confession. My older brother made his on the same day in second grade. We moved that next year, and the parish that I grew up in chooses to do it this way. Other parishes in our area reverse the two sacraments. In my Archdiocese, at least, it seems to be a local decision as to when you experience each sacrament.
Valkyrie, I think you asked a great question. Although I do not agree with every tenet of the Catholic church, I agree with most of them. I don't believe it is possible that I would agree with every tenet of any faith. As for thinking about converting, while I was in my early 20's, I did research other religions. I bought books, talked to friends, talked to preachers and lay people alike and went to other church services. I didn't feel comfortable in any of the other churches. I guess I just knew deep down that this is my religion, this is what I believe, and this is how I like to worship God.
