Tonight I had my first confirmation class.  Yes, I’m getting confirmed.  I won’t go into the whys of this late confirmation.  Things happen and my confirmation is set for April 21st.  I’m really very excited.  I’m also a bit embarrassed because I really should have done this earlier.  Anyway, back to topic.

Father Richard taught the class.  He is a very funny priest from Ireland.  We love him dearly.  Tonight’s class covered the early history of the church.  It was quite interesting.  One of the facts that struck me was about the bible.  If I thought about it I suppose I could have come to the same conclusion.  The bible was put together by the Catholic church.  The many anti-Catholic religions that exist out there and believe wholeheartedly that the bible is law are using the bible that the Catholic Church originally put out.*  Wow.  That was a big moment for me.

We received a book to read and I’m off to say prayers and get started.  This book will have to preempt my Lenten reading.  I’m so behind anyway. 

*I’m not Protestant bashing.  I just thought it was such an interesting piece of history.
