Quote: One weird thing going on is that I have an appt tomorrow morning with a nun at our parish who heads our RCIA program. W was very cold to my decision to finally consider Catholicism so I pursued it at a Church in Manhattan near work. Unfortunately, my priest became ill in November and I'm not sure if he's ever coming back. I've been in Cathechism limbo since and our local priest spoke to the nun and she called me.
The problem is that John Nash knows the nun very well and is perceived as a faithful Catholic at church. W fears that I will convey a different story. In fact, tonight she said too bad I didn't pursue this when we had a real chance together (I just smiled). At some level, I don't want to do anything thta hurts W and is anti-DBing, but at the same time I don't feel that I can tell God to hang around until I get this straightened out. Indeed, faith has carried me through some of my worst days. Oh well, I'm going to bed. Any bets on when W will walk through the door??? Who cares?

Merrick,
I replied to your post in Underdog's thread about handling conversion during lent, so check that out. I went through RCIA a few years back and it has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life, especially as I was raised without any religious upbringing. I highly recommend the RCIA process.
I personally wouldn't worry about your W's perception or thoughts on it. You are doing this for yourself. Remember that God has to be you priority as anyone else here on earth can fail you. Put you faith in God and don't worry about your W.
If you have any questions about RCIA or your journey with this I would be more than happy to talk with you. Just let me know.
Take care and God bless you on your journey.
God Bless You,
Reuben
Cautiously hopeful and keeping the Momentum
