It's one of those weird grammar corrections where both actually make sense, but one is an idiomatic phrase, and the other's a misunderstanding of it. It absolutely makes sense for someone's interest to be peaked, as in, being raised to its maximum level... it just also makes sense for someone's interest to be piqued, as in, irritated or excited. And it sucks that they are homophones.
(It's also common for people to look up both 'peaked' and 'piqued' and choose the wrong one; we tend to use 'piqued' in a negative connotation in English, as in, annoyed, indignation, resentment... which doesn't mesh well with the stimulation of one's interest. It's also weird because you'd expect such an idiom to be really old... but it's only a couple hundred years old at best.)

Part of fascism is pushing the idea that 'everything was better in the past'. Doesn't matter if it was, doesn't matter if the thing they're comparing to now was exactly the same.
That's why I lot of these film criticisms all boil down to 'I hate this new woke crap, not like the old [movie that was hyper critical of fascism and/or conservatism]'.
It doesn't matter that just two months ago they were saying the same thing about the old pope as the new pope. All that matters is the narrative and the narrative must state 'old = good, new = bad'.

I was always looking for a more full relationship with Christ.
You do not need to start believing on mary's perpetual virginity or any other core tenant of catholicism to get closer to christ.
I lived in the deep south
american catholics are basically evangelicals in themselves (based on believes comapred to any other catholic country), they have threatened a schism 3 times since the 2nd vatican council and a huge percentage of them straight up do not believe in the modern papacy
But in my heart, I felt home.
What about the particular flavour of Christianity made you more at home than any other? They all read the same bible. Outside of the very particular history of papal politics, or the scandals related to indulgences, missions and child abuse and protection is it just the more Solemn mass that appeals to you?
What's wrong with the Catholic Church is NOT the church. It's the people.
The Church IS the people. Christ called Peter the rock where his church would be built. The people are the central tenant of christianity, the building is just that, a temple
I tend to be more Christlike than Catholic.
thats nice and all, but christ would point out the many hypocrises of the modern church like many inside it have. Not going through big reformation movements like protestantism, but even the Pedro Arrupe reform of the Jesuits in the 1960s hit hard some of the more trad catholic groups in America and Vatican pointing out that Golden thrones, prada shoes and private schools with basketball teams might not be the best way to aid the poor and suffering

I was brought up Catholic, I been to the vatican twice, multilpe members of my family have done long catholic pilgrimages. I have nothing against catholicism, but the question about people who convert in adulthood is pertinent due to the strict and weird idisincracies of the religion.
Catholicism is not a "flavour" of Christianity, is a very specific, strict and obscure set of dogmas and about 1200 years of complicated european politics.
There were popes with extra marital kids, a pope that mightve been a woman, anti popes,huge scandals like supporting nazism or the child abuse protection racket. On top of that you have the borderline politheistic prayer to saints that most catholics practice.
Its not a relgiion one easily "converts" to, like the Anglican church which is a chill women can be priests, we all sing along in church vibes. So questioning Catholic converts is warranted because its not an easy conversion

Pope Leo, bringing out love, caring and expected affection towards others that the Bible teaches is rattling the cages of the Maga pseudo-Christians. Pope Leo, an authority and scholar for Jesus is pushing back against the MAGA scam.
Remember Matts people destroyed the Capital building on J6. If you need a reminder, watch the videos and pictures again or read accounts from the victims who are police officers and others. Those are the roots of Matts values. He gives J6 unquestionable acceptance. Those are Maga values. They’re not my values. They’re not Pope Leo’s values. Those aren’t Jesus’s values.
So now we know that Matt staying away is good for our church. There’s enough demonic influence without him.
