Catholic, Yes; Typical, No
Some of my fellow-Catholics share my lively interest in this astounding universe, others do not.
I’m not a ‘typical’ Catholic. After two millennia, and with more than a billion Catholics living around the world, I doubt that there is a ‘typical’ Catholic.
Like I said elsewhere, I’m a convert to Catholicism.
I love our rich history and traditions: and understand that we are literally καθολικός, universal.
There’s a difference, by the way, between traditions and Tradition.
As a Catholic, I am dedicated to our Tradition.
That emphatically does not mean that I see the customs of some American Catholics of the mid-20th century as the only ‘real’ Catholicism: and that’s another topic. Topics.
