An Introduction

Hi, I'm Jill.

Why am I writing this blog?

                The Catholic Church brings to mind different images for different people. For some, they see the Church as absolutely beautiful – God’s church on Earth. For others, the Church isn’t even Christian; they see it as an abomination. And there are those who just don’t see much, maybe a saint or priest here or there.

                There are a lot of people out there, even Catholics, that don’t know what the Catholic Church truly teaches. I’m writing this primarily to educate, to help people learn and understand the teachings of the Church. And by people, I mean everyone who wants to learn.

                Let me be clear right now. This is NOT a conversion attempt. Yes, I am Catholic, but I’m also a journalist. I am capable of presenting information in an unbiased way, and that’s what I’m aiming to do. I aim to present information in an unbiased way to clear up some of the many misconceptions of the Catholic Church.

                I have been Catholic my whole life. I may not have any degrees in theology or anything like that, but when I talk to you about what Catholics believe, I talk to you about what I believe. I talk to you about what I live. Experience can be just as valuable, if not more valuable, than credentials. But don’t worry, I do have solid research to back me up, too.

Housekeeping

                This blog started as an assignment for my reporting class. I had to use Dreamweaver to create the site, but now I'm moving it here because it'll look a lot prettier and be easier to use. You can still visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/sundaymorningcalisthenics. I encourage you to like the page and maybe help me get some discussion going, because it seems no one wants to talk. I just ask that everyone plays nice and is respectful to one another.

                If you ever have any questions you want to ask me personally rather than on the Facebook page, you can email me at jill.sorg@gmail.com, and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I may ask you if I can post the question and my answer on the blog, but that will be completely at your discretion.

                I'm going to try to update every Wednesday this summer, so check back Wednesday afternoons or evenings for new stuff.
