Although raised Catholic, I left the Church at 16, baptized at 40 in a Baptist church, now attend Chuck Swindoll's church in Texas (www.stonebriar.org). I was also a history major in college, love God and His history.
Since living in Texas I have been amazed at the number of folks in other denominations who do not seem to understand that the Bible Baptists or other Protestant denominations read came from the same place. Or that the history of Jesus Christ and all His churches all come from the same beginning.
I still do not understand why some Baptists keep Catholics at arms length - perhaps just the same misinformation that goes on in so many other areas of our everyday world.

I once experimented with the idea of becoming a Baptist. It was precisely because of the great amount of Catholic misinformation in the Baptist church that I quickly returned to Catholicism.
It was somewhat of a shock to hear so much hate of Catholicism when in fact the two religions are 99% similar.

You know how the muslims and Israeli's have been fighting for a very, very long time? The Baptists and Catholics have been fighting for a very, very long time. Pre-protestant reformation period, a little persecution in those years.
