My boyfriend randomly became catholic
Less than a week ago, my (18f) boyfriend (19m) went to the catholic center at his college to learn more about the religion. I have no idea what happened when he went there but he has basically completely converted.
Before this, we had pretty much the same religious views, and that was always something I loved about our relationship, we would always talk about not knowing exactly who we were praying to and how it was more fun that way. Some of my favorite memories together were our philosophical talks about religion.
Now, he’s praying to the rosary multiple times a day, already enrolled to be confirmed at the church, he’s talked about how he wants me to look into it and research it. And he’s made a few remarks about me coming to mass with him, and me veiling. He’s made Pinterest boards and put a Bible verse in his instagram bio, says he’s not eating meat on fridays anymore. And it’s all he seems to talk about now, every single conversation we’ve had he’s managed to weave in Catholicism into it.
I’m a little bit shocked and concerned at this turn around. It’s been exactly 5 days since he visited the catholic center and had this “conversion”, and I feel like he’s just completely thrown himself into it without knowing a lot about what he’s getting into. Of course I support it and I want to be there for him but it’s just a bit difficult for me to process this lifestyle change at such a fast pace.
If anyone has any advice for how to navigate this I would love that. Thank you
