Welcome to my online diary, enjoy your stay!
| Well the most important event of today is that I wrote to the convent in Averbode to make an appointment with a priest. I've been wanting to see a priest for some time now, regarding my "situation" (or non-situation) in the Catholic Church, but I never dared to take the step. I finally did it, sent a little e-mail with in short my question and my desire to confess. I read on their website that a few of the friars there are appointed especially for conversions and such, so I guess my e-mail will be transferred to one of those fathers. As from there I don't know how it will go. Of course I have been baptized as a Catholic and I have done my Holy Communion and Confirmation... but everything changed when I married my husband and became muslim. I also had been studying buddhism but never became a buddhist, because I believe in the existence of God above men, and buddhists don't. But there are very interesting elements in their philosophy too, just like in Islam... it was difficult to make a choice and I have been struggling with this choice for years. But finally I felt - and wholeheartedly decided - that I felt most at home in the Catholic Church, even if there are conservative teachings that I don't agree with. I hope I will soon receive an answer to my question !
