Then email this Catholic priest and call him wrong.

In the first place a Catholic has no business attending Protestant church services even occasionally. To participate in a heretical worship service and especially a communion service can be sinful for a Catholic because such an act is an affirmation of what we believe to be untrue. To attend an ecumenical service or a wedding or baptism is allowed, but Catholics are not allowed to attend such churches for the main reason of worship. Now if there are no Catholic churches in the vicinity on a Sunday, Catholics are allowed to participate in the Liturgy of Churches whose clergy are validly ordained such as the Eastern Orthodox Churches—including the reception of the Eucharist. Although we consider them to be in schism (not in union with the Pope) with the Catholic Church, such Churches are not heretical and share our basic beliefs.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.

The Southern Baptist Convention’s theology is firmly anti-Catholic.

The Catholic Church teaches that abandoning the faith for a non-Catholic denomination is a mortal sin.

This. In my area there are no Catholic Churches, nor Eastern Orthodox.

Hum?
Can you point out in their beliefs what is “firmly anti-Catholic”. I am just not seeing it.
