A Pauline moment, but the truth vouched to you both may have been different, or was it. Perhaps, St Paul, on his way to Damascus may have had a moment of interior knowing as did you before Jim. But you had nothing to feel guilty over (my catholicism in a small southern Italian town was very similar; I too was marked for the priesthood). But Paul had persecuted the Jews. His moment was to know that his way was inhumane, and belief in the the Christ was his means to expiation. Knowing no other means, Christianity became his road to overcome the shame over his behavior. Your total innocence experienced truth: no answer came.

Thanks Remo, that's a really interesting parallel I hadn't considered. The story is only semi-autobiographical, but perhaps you are right about it.
