In before the Protestant anti-Catholic morons who will claim this convert really never knew his Protestant faith!

“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” (1John 2:19)

I’m pro-truth, not anti-Catholic. I care about Catholic people, if not I wouldn’t bother.

I was raised Baptist. I guess you could say that I'm at least agnostic if not atheist now.

At the tender age of 16, I was invited by my girlfriend to attend midnight mass on Christmas Eve at the local catholic church.

The most bizarre string of ritualistic craziness I've ever seen.

Didn't get the whole thing then, don't get it now, never will get it.

Bloody statues, parades of people in robes, people speaking ancient languages and swinging incense burners.

I got out of there as fast as I could graciously and never talked to the girl again.

Scared the crap out of me to see people I thought were normal participating.

That would be a truly ridiculous thing to say. I'm quite certain that this fellow understands Calvinism thoroughly.

Of course, he became Catholic when he lost his belief in Biblical inerrancy, so Calvinism--or even classical Reformation Protestantism--has little to do with his story.

Once you become an evolutionist there are very places left to go. He just happened to choose the Catholic Church over the Communist Party.
