How do you find that Catholic community?
That is a good question
@@halleylujah247 I am an evangelical Christian who spends a lot of time at Tim Horton's. I have on occasion met men who are devout Roman Catholics. One guy, Kevin, told me that only about 5% of Catholics are devout. One thing I noticed about these devout Catholics is that they are isolated. They know people who are cultural Catholics but do not take their faith seriously. These men enjoy talking to me even though I am an evangelical, because I take my faith in Christ seriously. At one time I never thought about Catholics in Canada feeling isolated. Some of them go to conferences in places such as Saint Louis, Grand Rapids, or New Orleans to meet Catholics of the same mind. As an evangelical there are times when I am aware that my views are in the minority but even in Canada I have never felt the isolation that these Catholic do. One of the problems that I have in talking to devout Catholics is that often know little about the Bible but sure do study the Greek philosophers, Augustine, Saint Francis, Pascal and Descartes. That is not going to change. I am 69 and have read the Bible straight through 73 times. I will be the first to admit that I know other evangelical Christians that know the Bible better than me(or parts of it). But I have never met a Catholic that knows the Bible better than me. I have read Augustine and Pascal but a lot of it was over my head.
