[instead of our Catholic and small liberal arts colleges, respectively?] Are there even Catholics at Wheaton? There must be. There can't be. Google it!<br /><br />So I'm glad to see there are! And a convert underground!

I was, of course, intending a playful approach to calling the Catholic community at Wheaton the "Underground," but I can see how that could be taken negatively.

Also, it should be noted that some Wheaton Catholic students were not received as adults but raised in the Catholic Church and never left it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7409329926905599325.post-61849802429369372762011-09-08T21:56:55.421-07:002011-09-08T21:56:55.421-07:00Hello fellow wheatie and convert!

An underground group started while I was at Wheaton called "The Dead Father's Society" - their sole aim was to look into the teachings of the Catholic Church by reading the Catechism. The group consisted of about 10 students, all of whom converted. It warms my soul to hear that this group continues! God surely provides! We now live in Alaska and my husband is the editor for the Catholic Anchor (www.catholicanchor.org -the paper for the archdiocese up here). Thank you for sharing this! May God continue to guide you!DavidsonClanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267475916759718873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7409329926905599325.post-85379695459558122272011-09-08T13:00:50.343-07:002011-09-08T13:00:50.343-07:00one of my favorite bloggers- secret vatican spy- c...one of my favorite bloggers- secret vatican spy- converted while a student at Oral Roberts!priest's wifehttp://remnantofremnant.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7409329926905599325.post-61266761550908298292011-09-08T09:32:32.996-07:002011-09-08T09:32:32.996-07:00I forget what it was last year, but I started to c...I forget what it was last year, but I started to come across all these stories about how conducive these big name evangelical colleges were to Catholicism. Specifically mentioned was Wheaton, of course. Isn't their motto "Exploring Historic Christianity" or something? I go to Notre Dame, and there's Catholicism all over the place to be sure. There's just something about the idea of a "Catholic Underground" that intrigues me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7409329926905599325.post-9667648511162413802011-09-08T08:54:21.769-07:002011-09-08T08:54:21.769-07:00"Nevertheless, my understanding of Christiani..."Nevertheless, my understanding of Christianity as a Protestant was slowly beginning to deteriorate, and I knew I either needed to find answers to my questions, convert to Catholicism, or leave Christianity." <br /><br />That is exactly the place I find myself.
