Adult Catholic Convert (ACC) should be something you have to append to your professional credentials, like DDS or LLM, but without any chance of positive social connotation those might carry

That story about dates in your 30s sometimes featuring the line "So, what did you want to be?" Except it's "So, was this a diagnosis-driven or politically-reactionary move on your part?"

They should also have to spend six months volunteering at St. Vincent DePaul's to weed out the sociopaths.

They should be forced to wear a really embarrassing jacket in public. Boss Baby shaking hands with a diapered minion. Something along those lines. A think they'd think is really cool but would mark them as a freak.

When asked for documentation you can print something on that fake parchment paper printer paper in an old timey font and claim someone working at the diocese just found it in the Vatican archives during a trip to Rome and that it’s kind of a holy relic, actually

Adult catholic converts are like "The things I need in my life are a lot of stultifying rules, a lot of nonsense lore, and a deeeeeep undercurrent of pedophilia!"

It is such a suspicious thing to do that I think there needs to be a very high bar for it to be approved. Something along the lines of a 70% "approval" response from a vote including the entire global population and at least 50% approval in 90% or greater of all countries.

As a recent ACC, I 1000% agree. Most the ACCS are weird AF but the normies are largely fine, which is why I joined. The only guilt I feel is I'm still very much agnostic. Doing my part to undermine the neo-zealots though. They don't know I'm a double agent.

Also confused as to why anyone would become an ACC but also stay agnostic. Like is there a rewards program? Are Catholics getting secret Costco discounts?

So I remember in college, a roommate of mine converted and my very catholic (at the time) mother found this SO WEIRD. "Your dad didn't even follow through on his promise to convert after we got married"

(the promise was to the priest who married them not my mom) My mom has since left the church partly for the many many many scandals and also because of how they treat queers.
