Gosh! You are speaking to my brain this week! You always have and always do! I feel like this is my online class I get to login and read and have epiphanies each time I do a lesson.
- Where we get tripped up is when we confuse what is good, true, and beautiful for what is merely entertaining or convenient. The transcendentals are simple gifts, to be sure, but rarely are they easy.
- All these things are good, beautiful, and true…and not a single one is sustainable through shortcuts. Counterfeits are possible, sure, but they will never come close to the real thing.
I love that you mention Catechisms. Are there Catholic books you recommend or like?
Thanks girl! ❤️🤟🏼 For Substack, I enjoy both Tsh Oxenreider and Katie Marquette, who are both Catholic converts who write beautifully about these same ideals. I’ve learned so much from both of them!
For Catholicism in general, conversion stories by Trent Horn and Abigail Favale (both converts from evangelicalism) have been fascinating, scholarly, and easy to read. Peter Kreeft’s book Catholic Christianity is also a good study, as it’s a digestible summary of the Catechism itself.
