On Atheism and the Catholic Faith

“Last Easter, when I was just beginning to explore the possibility that, despite what I had previously believed and been brought up to believe, there might be something to the Catholic faith, I read Letters to a Young Catholic by George Weigel. One passage in particular struck me.

“Talking of the New Testament miracles and the meaning of faith, Weigel writes: ‘In the Catholic view of things, walking on water is an entirely sensible thing to do. It’s staying in the boat, hanging tightly to our own sad little securities, that’s rather mad.’”

In a recent commentary, Megan Hodder reflected on what brought her away from atheism to the Catholic faith.
