Just a quick note to introduce myself. Cradle Catholic, 'wandered off' in my 20s and got involved with Hermeticism, from there to philosophy (the 'Perennial Tradition' if anyone's ever heard of it), then NeoPlatonism, and then the Patristics!
The Fathers brought me back into the fold, and now, at some 50+, I'm currently engaged in a distance-learning theology degree here in the UK.
And a blessed Advent to you all.
Thomas
