A Response to “What Sucks about the Catholic Church”

Published June 23, 2015 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith

Every spring brings the Church a batch of shiny new Catholics, and every year I see the same list of complaints. No, not the ones about people “taking your pew.” The ones about the niggling weaknesses in the Church. Many adults who enter the Catholic Church, especially those who were members of other Christian traditions… [Read More]

Called to Love (Review: Gay & Catholic)

Published December 9, 2014 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Faith, Marriage and Love, Reviews

If not for my particular faith journey, I might never have read this book. I started going to church at the age many people first stop. Campus ministry is how I met Gabriel, who blogs at Mudblood Catholic. His writing is highly philosophical and remarkably eloquent. I enjoy his writing because he is honest, faithful,… [Read More]

Naming Your Antagonist (Review: “Something Other Than God”)

Published May 27, 2014 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Reviews

The world is actually quite small. I’m a military brat, and I’ve lived in multiple U.S. cities and states for non-government reasons, as well, so I know a few things about incredible connections. Being part of the Catholic blogosphere adds an additional dimension to those connections. I followed Jen Fulwiler’s blog, Conversion Diary, for some… [Read More]

Your Intro to RCIA (Review: “Waking Up Catholic”)

Published September 3, 2013 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Reviews

The journey to Catholicism can be a winding one. Some sharp stones have been pressed in by years of habit, and some gems are waiting just around the next bend. It can be tricky to navigate the path. Sometimes you want a companion on the journey. Sometimes you just want a simple road map. Waking… [Read More]

Roamin’ Home (Review: “Confessions of a Mega-Church Pastor”)

Published June 25, 2013 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Faith, Reviews

I love conversion stories. As a cradle Catholic who lapsed for a few years, I have my own story of coming to know Christ and his one true Church, but I am always fascinated by the journeys other people have taken to get to Catholicism. Some of my favorites are the stories that came with… [Read More]

Reading Your Way to Rome (Review: “Rome Sweet Home”)

Published January 8, 2013 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Family, Marriage and Love, Reviews

As many Catholics are, I am a sucker for conversion stories. I was baptized Catholic but not really raised that way, so mine is more of a reversion story, but I even enjoy telling that! There’s something about getting the inside scoop on someone’s journey to God and to the Catholic Church that is so… [Read More]

What’s with all the Rituals and Repetitive Prayers?

Published August 30, 2012 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog

As a Catholic, you may have heard this before: why does Catholic worship involve so many repetitive rituals?  It’s weird that you all say the same thing at the same time! It alienates others who don’t know the words and it looks funny. Or you may have thought this to yourself instead: Why do we say the same thing over and… [Read More]
