text: I grew up Protestant, fully embracing my faith.  My boyfriend introduced me to his Catholic Church in 2002, and several years after we married, I joined the Catholic Church in 2008.  In the first few years, I had "all the zeal of a convert" as they say.  I felt guilt about abandoning my old tradition, so the idea that Catholicism was superior and right about everything helped to assuage that discomfort.  But as time went by, the imperfections of the Church as a human institution became impossible to ignore. I went through a faith crisis, became very angry and thought about leaving the Church.  I have come through the crisis with acceptance and resolution to be a witness to all the good and the bad in the Church.  The article's best line refers to the present tense, not the past tense.  I am still developing, we are all still developing, the Church is still developing.  The new converts, with all their political zeal, are still developing.  None are finished yet, all need patience.
