I had no religious belief at the time I began to study Catholicism... I did set to find out, and literally to research the matter, and I discovered fairly soon that a thing has to be tested on its terms. You can't test anything in science or in any part of the world except on its own terms or you will get the wrong answers. The church has a very basic requirement or set of terms, namely that you get down on your knees and ask for the truth… I prayed to God the Father for two or three years, simply saying ‘show me.’ I didn't want proof of anything. I didn't know what I was going to be shown because I didn't believe in anything. I was shown very suddenly. It didn't happen in any expected way. It came instantly as immediate evidence, and without any question of its being a divine intervention. There was no trauma or personal need. I never had any need for religion, any personal or emotional crisis. I simply wanted to know what was true and I was told… Wham! I became Catholic the next day.-- Marshall McLuhan, The Medium and the LightThese collected writings are apparently originally published in 1999; I've yet to look into when this essay/article was originally written or published.
