Lightly Salted

I usually done go for conversion stories. Partially because the 'benefit' others seem to get out of the stories don't seem to work for me. I do respect the experience of others, because I have had a small taste of what they had to go through to get to this side of the Tiber, but I can't hear it without feeling acute pain in empathy with theirs. Sure I rejoice that they are here in the Church, but I can do that without raking over their pain in fine detail.

This account of a lesbian-feminist-journalist turned Catholic caught my attention for the way the Catholic monk in the story shared his faith with the ranting atheist.

At wit’s end, she recounted how someone she knew talked about visiting “the monks” at the famous Saint-Benoît Abbey in Saint-Benoît-du-Lac, Quebec.
