Michael Coren Leaves the Church: The author of "Why Catholics Are Right" is no longer Catholic
Church Militant ^ | Apr 28, 2015 | Ryan Fitzgeral

Posted on 05/07/2015 10:21:49 AM PDT by RBStealth

The author of Why Catholics Are Right has ditched the Catholic Church.

Michael Coren is a well-known writer and talk show host from Canada. He's perhaps best known for The Michael Coren Show and The Arena with Michael Coren on Canadian television, where he earned the reputation of being an unapologetic conservative.

He's appeared on Church Militant's Mic'd Up program as recently as 2013, and Michael Voris was once a guest on The Michael Coren Show in 2011. When he first became a Christian in his twenties, he joined the Catholic Church. Soon afterward, though, he left Catholicism in favor of evangelical Christianity.

In 2004, however, Coren again became convinced of the truth of Catholicism and re-converted to the Faith.

And now he's apparently an Anglican. The Anglican Diocese of Toronto has a photo posted April 23 on Facebook of Coren preparing "for his reception into the Anglican Communion."

Given his track record, next month he’ll be giving zoroastrianism a try.

Just the reverse...he became an Evangelical...and since so many Catholics are Dems, it's more comparable to a Democrat flippin' to be a Republican, which has happened...

All the polls show that Evangelicals are much more conservative on social issues, etc. than are Catholics...

Hmmm. I just figured he can’t make up his mind.

I wish more of the “squishy catholics” would just leave instead of trying to stay in the church and change/corrupt it from the inside...

Could be.

Let's face it...If he went overboard in advocating the Catholics are "right," then it's not like there's some new discernment issue here.

I don’t really understand the inter-denominational issue, but assuming he’s now evangelical, the current Pope is probably too liberal for him.

He left because he can’t figure out why homosexuality is a sin.

He went to the Anglicans not the evangelicals.

Do they offer an express conversion?

[ I don’t really understand the inter-denominational issue, but assuming he’s now evangelical, the current Pope is probably too liberal for him. ]

The current pope would be like taking the most liberal reform Rabbi and placing him in charge of the most orthodox temple.

At least that is what it seems like to me. I could be wrong.

Here's an interesting video (and article) link I found about this story that I wanted to add to the threads posted today about Michael Coren, and share the link with others who might also be interested in watching the short video and reading the article:
