Nashville Catholic church embraces converts

When she was growing up, Lori W. Caste decided not to get baptized.

Her father was a lapsed Baptist, her mother a Jehovah's Witness. She followed her mother to Sunday services, but drifted away when she entered her teens.

As an adult, Caste went to different churches, but nothing stuck until her husband, Tim, a lifelong Catholic, encouraged her to explore the faith.

The 44-year-old Caste will be baptized a Catholic during the Easter Vigil Mass on Holy Saturday at Christ the King Catholic Church on Belmont Boulevard.

She is one of about 400 converts in the Diocese of Nashville who will join the church on Easter, a remarkable number for a relatively small diocese of 75,000. That's one convert for every 187 Catholics.

I guess Catholic converts are still newsworthy, huh? It's that bad in your part of the world?

[R W G R]

No, I just like seeing how upset you get over these things

It's quite telling

"Her father was a lapsed Baptist, her mother a Jehovah's Witness.

not a child led in the way he should go.
quite a catch for the RCC.

You are angry, I understand.

Hey, I have a suggestion. I am sure you can program your computer so that when you hit F1, it will just spell the words out for you. "You are angry, I understand." Oh wait. You've porbably done that already.

Well ,that might have to wait. Right now I'm trying to create a multi-key function that lets me say: "I will NOT copy and paste, my words will follow", and then resort to 'copy and paste' three posts later.

Perhaps you could help?

Good one Alpha.. I must confess, you are truly the best at giving merely the appearance of posting items of substance and compelling arguments.

Why should I expend all my intellectual energies, when the "Catholic Answers" site has been shown to, time and again, tie you into knots that makes a pretzel look as straight as a ruler??

It just doesn't stop. It is truly a systemic problem. It is astounding, in light of all the negative press this gives the RCC, there are high level officials who STILL think they can get away with this garbage. It is no wonder that Catholic Christians are fleeing the church.

[NewCasa]

Across the sea will come Adze-head, crazed in the head,
his cloak with hole for the head, his stick bent in the head.
He will chant impieties from a table in the front of his house;
all his people will answer: "so be it, so be it."

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

St. Patty, a good Catholic boy!
