I, as a baptized Catholic who now attends an Episcopal church, get the feeling from your post that you are questioning whether Catholics are “catholic”? I get the notion that you think Catholics, in order to really get the idea of Jesus, should be reading and experiencing evangelical “productions”, if you will, to truly get the message. Am I right?

It’s a simple question my friend (in theory) and in what Jesus and the apostles have said we SHOULD be one Church (those who are actually “born of the spirt” John Chapter 3), I am just curious.. that’s all!?

You are always a Catholic. You might find your story or a very similar one here.

I would definitely encourage that, as on whose hungry yet discerning soul was esp. very much fed by evangelical radio in the late 70's, early 80s (better then) after i really became born again but then (and for 6 years after) still a weekly mass going RC. I largely chewed the meat and spit out the bones in both cases.

But i have my doubts the OP is doing as you ask. Instead, maybe he is an Inquisitor infiltrator seeking to flush out Catholic heretics! After all, a RC apologist just told me as regards Lk. 10:16, that if one rejects a Bap­tist preach­ing Acts 10:36 – 43 then that soul is not reject­ing Christ. Thus it would seem if one accepts that message then he has not accepted Christ. And by extension, Prot. songs etc. would not be of God. What think ye?
