I know. I asked him to explain his beliefs and why he believes them. If nothing I'll get some cringe to laugh at. But maybe he will end up rethinking his position.
Sadly, at least in America, I find that it's less V2 that has lead to the mass Apostasy we're seeing but more very poor Catholic schools, bad priests, and grave mishandling of funds
I like talking to converts because they usually have a very fresh take on the Catholic faith, but I also find that they sometimes don't realize how bad things really are
Not only that but I distinctly recall all the teachers going on various trips to places like Ireland and Australia meanwhile the school closed by the time I reached 5th grade
Just to show you how poorly I was educated in the faith, here are some things I never knew until I reverted back to the faith:
1. The Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ (don't even remember this being said once)
2. What a mortal sin was (one teacher even said that only grave things like murder that you could go to jail for were the only mortal sins)
3. What Holy Days of Obligation were
4. The importance of Confession (the severe lack of emphasis basically implied that it was optional)
5. What the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism were (thought they were almost exactly the same)
