Today it was reported that the most prominent Muslim in Rome was received into the Church by Pope Benedict last night at the Easter Vigil Mass in St. Peter's. My fellow liberals are uncomfortable with conversions, I have to be honest. I think it's because the underlying assumption about a conversion is that our Catholic faith is a truer path than other alternatives.
We are uncomfortable asserting the rightness of the Catholic faith, because we are uncomfortable projecting the rightness of ourselves onto others. This humility of our liberal brothers is admirable and attractive.
But it is misplaced. The Catholic faith is the bread that heals all. This beggar is eager to tell other beggars where to find the bread that satisfies.
