Survey from the Basement: Getting Started
Without going into too many details about my life, I feel it's essential to offer a disclaimer or temper your expectations. To put it plainly and to quote Saint Patrick, "I am a sinner, a simple country person, and the least of all believers." I'm not a theologian or a scholar, but just a cradle Catholic who fell away from the faith in my teens got swept into worldly things, partied too hard, and committed no shortage of sins. Luckily, during the COVID-19 lockdowns, I started reading Catholic literature to better understand the faith I had fallen away from, only to be ignited with a yearning for the truth.
