0:00.0	Confession time. I didn't learn how to pray the rosary until I was in my 20s.
0:12.0	I didn't know that Jesus was truly present in the Eucharist at Mass until I was confirmed
0:18.0	as a teenager. Now, did I mention I was raised Catholic, that I was confirmed as a teenager. Now did I mention I was raised Catholic that I was baptized as a baby?
0:26.4	Yes, I grew up Catholic, but learning what that means, what we believe, how I'm supposed
0:32.2	to behave, that has been an ongoing process, a process of maturing. And that process is called formation.
0:41.4	It's how we learn and mature in our faith as Catholic Christians. And I know I'm not the only one
0:48.6	whose formation has been a little spotty. I hear that same sentiment from Catholics all over the church. Converts feel
0:57.1	like they're behind. Cradle Catholics feel embarrassed because they think they should know it all
1:02.9	already. And then there are others who maybe grew up in the church or went to Catholic school
1:08.4	and think they know what the church teaches or who God is,
1:12.6	but haven't had any real formation as an adult, not since being receiving their sacraments as kids.
1:20.6	So no matter where you are on the spectrum of faith, whether you went to Catholic school, converted to Catholicism, or are thinking
1:29.2	about becoming Catholic, be at peace. You're not behind, you're not too late. God is infinite.
1:38.0	So there will always be more to learn, which means our faith should always be growing. That's why we're introducing a new
1:47.2	series called Catholicism for Catholics. In it, you'll hear from me, Beth Davis, and friends
1:55.6	of Blessed Is She about things like scripture, evangelization, Mary and the Saints, relationships, what do relationships
2:03.2	look like as a Catholic Christian and the process of becoming Catholic, whether that's for you
2:09.5	or someone you love. We want to help you grow in your faith in Jesus and the church he established
2:16.6	through formation. Together we're going to unpack
2:20.1	the beauty and the richness of our Catholic faith so that you can feel more confident in who
2:25.6	God is and who you are as a Catholic Christian. Welcome to Catholicism for Catholics. Thanks for
2:34.0	watching Catholicism for Catholics. Be for watching Catholicism for Catholics.
