Observant readers will notice a new tab at the top of the blog. It links to a new page on which I try to give an answer to the question of why I am Catholic. Not an easy question, perhaps, but I made an attempt at providing an answer.
Why this page? Because I find every now and then that people hold such strange, even insulting, ideas about people who have any faith, let alone the Catholic branch of Christianity. I hope that my answer, which includes my conversion story, goes some way to show that I am not a scary, strange and unrealistic person who uses his faith to hide behind, but instead just a guy who has done some reading, thinking and experiencing and drew some conclusions.
May it do some good.

It is always good to read of a person giving a reason for the faith that is in them. Thank you
