Clumsy Theosis - Do Converts Know More About the Faith?

Have you ever encountered a convert to Catholicism who seems to know the Faith inside and out—more so than most Cradle-Catholics? There is a major difference between those new(er) to Catholicism and those who have had the Faith the majority of their lives.

After reading a book for new converts, “I’m Catholic. Now What?” Richaél Lucero realized that difference is a strong sense of wonder and an appetite for answers. Listen to learn the part wonder plays in your knowledge of your Faith, what you can gain from new converts, and how to reignite your spark for wonder in the Faith.
