Agreed. I do have to be honest that having a Pope doesn't make all truths clear. (If I am being perfectly honest, it would seem the opposite at times!) We have politics too, and it's a mess, but when is a functioning hospital not full of people needing healing?
I have a similar experience with wrestling with the the issues. I started out knowing nothing and did my own research (DYOR is a phrase I know in another circle, but I can't my finger on it 👈😉). I started out thinking I was going to save my now wife from her religion, but things just kept favoring the Catholic position. I finally decided to join the Church, and Thanksgiving day will be my 10th anniversary. Marrying her was the second best decision I've made after joining the Church.
