The art of becoming a Catholic
Introduction
I am a fervent critic of the Catholic church and any religion for that matter. As a physician and scientist I have reasonable doubts about the ridiculous mythical claims of Christians. I also believe that the Christian faith brought a lot of suffering into this world, obstructed science and abuse of power throughout history. People like me, educated and open-minded, should be able to easily unravel the contradictions and hypocrisy of the Catholic church. I order to educate myself about the Christian faith I read books and watched movies about why Jesus never existed, contradictions in the bible and the sins of the Catholic church in history.
My endeavor to convince myself how bad the Catholic church is backfired. This year at the age of 39 I decided to go through RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) which is the process of becoming a Catholic and I am quite excited about it.
