Hey steely, It’s been several days since you claimed there were thousands of Protestant theologians who become catholic. I asked for a list, but you went quiet Where is your list of “thousands of Protestant theologians” who have joined the Roman church?? I’d very much like to see it, because it doesn’t sound legitimate to me. Have you found it yet?? Please post.

So its "thousands" now? Before it was "a vast [unnamed] constellation of Protestant theologians, from Henry Newman to Richard Neuhaus." Regardless, what would that prove? His list begins with an Anglican and ends with a Lutheran, both of which are closest to Catholicism, testifying to their lack of discernment, while the church did not overall begin with the formally learned recognizing who and what was of God, but instead " the common people heard him gladly, (Mark 12:37) and in contrast to "the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders," such "counted John, that he was a prophet indeed." (Mark 11:32)

And vastly more of such have left Catholicism for evangelical faith than vice versa, thanks be to God. And in contrast, theologians tend to be liberal.

The overall judgment of the "theologians" can be summed up by the testimony of John 7,

Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. (John 7:45-49)

But thank God for Paul and Apollos, and for theologians such as Jonathan Edwards and for many of the evangelical scholars.

“And vastly more of such have left Catholicism for evangelical faith than vice versa, thanks be to God. And in contrast, theologians tend to be liberal.”

Oh no!! Steelfish, you didn’t bring that up...

PS - still waiting for your cast of thousands. I’m guessing it will be a who’s who of liberals, if you post one.
