I feel like that could be one of my strengths in the long term once I am fully catechized. Because I was atheist for so long, I have a resilience to blasphemy and profane things that I notice not everyone has. The most useful time it comes up is with protestants because they can be quite hostile and at first Satan will come out while they are insulting you while pretending they are attempting to enlighten you.
...but if you can stay calm during these encounters and let the things they are not ready to be corrected about slide while educating them about their incorrect view of Catholicism and also reminding them that Christ would not want them to behave this way even under their own framework, you can actually position yourself to enlighten them haha. But it takes a great deal of patience because they can be ... awful.

Thanks, Othala. I'm going to revise the post somewhat.
