Any newcomers or changed beliefs?
This doesn't really count as a full-on change in belief but in the past year I have become a lot more Anglo-Catholic/high church/Catholic adjacent than I used to be, as I was raised a fairly middle-of-the road Episcopalian.
I've read a lot more about Catholicism, the differences in theologies, and have gone to a couple Masses actually. I really doubt I'll ever convert to Catholicism (there's still a gulf in theological and ethical thoughts between the Catholic Church and myself) but I do appreciate some facets of it.
I know a lot of post liberals who admire Catholicism. Its most fervent admirer is a fairly well known postmodern libertarian socialist sociologist named Steve Fuller, perhaps the most erratic thinker of our day.
Close contact and interfaith dialogue with Catholics has affected my own practice quite a bit as well, although I'd say that I remain under the broad pagan umbrella and there are still many aspects of Catholic theology and doctrine that I can't reconcile with my own principles. My path has always been quite syncretic, heterodox, generally opposed to the doctrine and attitudes of larger pagan currents, and infused with a postmodern air of self-awareness, so it wasn't much of a stretch to say "maybe Mary and St. Hildegard are aspects of the Mother Goddess too", with all due respect to the folk who I'm massively removing from their original spiritual context.
