"Dear Father, I recently graduated from a Catholic university where I studied theology. Scripture was treated merely as a set of historical documents at the university. It was taken to pieces, much of the New Testament attributed to later redactors, and much of it considered made up. Scholars like Bultmann and Hicks were greatly revered.
Having left the college I now find it very difficult to practice the faith, because, if I am honest with myself, I see little reason to remain Christian. "
