I became Catholic and it enhanced my career (even here in Utah), made great new friends, and caused havoc in my family (while drawing closer to others in my family). In balance, a HUGE win.

The answer is Catholics have more fun. My Catholic cousins could dance, drink, play cards, gamble and smoke and the protestants couldn’t. BTW I’m not Catholic but had a little envy for my cousins who were.

I dunno. Maybe because it makes a hell of a lot more sense than the extreme fundy freakshow who constantly and mindlessly denounces anything which doesn't fit their narrow definition of Christianity?

..this is a story about finding truth, beauty, and fulfillment in an unexpected place.. Funny, I always thought it was about realizing you were a sinner and in need of salvation that comes from repentence and faith in Christ.

I’m not Catholic but I appreciate that my Catholic friends can relax and have a beer or glass of wine if they like.
Now my question is, why would anyone write for a blog named “indiegogo”?

Maybe because it makes a hell of a lot more sense than the extreme fundy freakshow The term [Fundamentalism] was born when conservative Protestants in early-20th-century America committed themselves to defend the five "fundamentals" of their faith -- the inerrancy of the Bible, virgin birth and deity of Jesus, doctrine of atonement, bodily resurrection of Jesus, and His imminent return.
-- from the thread The many forms of fundamentalism
Fundamentalist: A term created during the turn-of-the-20th-century Protestant church splits to define those who held to the fundamentals of Christianitythe inerrancy of the Bible, the virgin birth of Jesus and his literal resurrection from the dead. The term is now considered pejorative. (Wheaton College philosophy professor Alvin Plantinga famously observed, The full meaning of the term
can be given by something like stupid sumbitch whose theological opinions are considerably to the right of mine.)

Obviously, you haven’t been out on Sat.nite in Texas or Oklahoma. Unless,they’re all drunken Catholics.
To: Vigilanteman
the extreme fundy freakshow who constantly and mindlessly denounces anything which doesn't fit their narrow definition of Christianity? Oh, you mean the SSPX, sede vacantist and "RadTrad" crowd that's ever so much more Catholic than the Pope? To the point that some of them don't believe there's been a legitimate Pope since 1958?
Yep, they're pretty wild, alright.

As an evangelist and author who recently threw my own life into some turmoil by deciding to enter the Catholic Church, I've faced this question a lot lately.
Good.
Presuming he means the Roman Catholic church, the writer should face this question intensely, constantly, and prayerfully and not settle for second-best until he is give the correct Answer.

My Baptist inlaws became Presbyterian so they could do all that! Well, they didn’t mention the gambling part. At least that’s what they told me. LOL!

Indeed!
Better question...
Why do hundreds of millions of Catholics abandon their faith and no longer practice it?
Or as Hillary asked, “what does it matter?!”
