Well, yes, as a Protestant who converted to Catholicism many years ago, I find this interesting. As for finding God in everything - look to St Ignatius.
Re: The Chosen (and I don't think this is a spoiler) - The first two seasons were great, but in season three it felt to me like the show was running out of gas (it began to feel like this Jesus is never going to get to the cross). Re: this post - unless I missed it in the Bible (doubtful) or misunderstood what Jonas wrote, I'm pretty certain Jesus never walked the streets of Rome.
As a Catholic who is married to a Methodist and does a double-header on Sundays, I am eager to find out who is “right”. Of course, both sides emphasize developing your personal relations ship with Jesus (which is a fairly recent phenomenon in Catholicism) but rather the need for the “pomp & circumstance” or not. For me, I prefer the emphasis on more sacraments and on the Eucharist. Yet we all need Jesus as the way to heaven. We can’t do this all on our own. Alleluia!
I love this post, partly because I love the Chosen series, (thinking of rewatching the first 3 seasons before I get to the 4th season). I love Roumy's portrayal of Jesus. I love the brilliance of Jenkins. I must admit, when it comes to my personal experience I fall on the side of Jenkins.

This is why one should never attempt to publish a blog post after midnight. Just edited the post. Thanks for catching that, Kevin!
