You tried!! I totally understand where you were coming from.
This story reminds me of Bishop Barron’s talk that he gave one time at the Religious Ed Congress that takes place every year in Anaheim, CA. It was called “Evangelization through Beauty”. Powerful. (It’s on YouTube). You never know the point where something about the Church might touch someone. 😇
Our loving, merciful, Lord does work in mysterious ways. Who knows, of course God knows, he may have eventually converted to Catholicism. Don’t underestimate your good intentions. The Good Lord may have been working through you all along.
I remember hearing this story but I didn’t realize it was yours, Patrick -- I thought it was Scott Hahn’s! I instantly thought of bingo and cigarette smoke when I started reading it and I thought, “What are the odds that it would happen to Patrick too!” (But apparently it was your story all along.) 😉
Totally stinks, the cigarettes of course.
