Give him time...might turn out to be a rabid anti-Catholic.
Why would we suspect anti-Catholicism of him? I’ve heard it said that Catholics aren’t “real” Christians by some, because of prayers to saints (asking a dead guy or lady to talk to God on their behalf). But the scripture says “whosoever believes in Him”, not whosoever prays my way. My confessions are to Him, but I don’t consider them “wrong” for a ritual involving a priest.
