I have seriously considered (to the point of going through RCIA) and rejected, for now, Roman Catholicism (my wife and daughters are RC, and I wish I could join them).
But it is difficult to avoid the conclusion that the fruits of the Reformation, as manifested by the tide of apostasy and heresy in American and European Protestant churches, are sour and getting rapidly worse.
Unlike you, I am not at all sure what to do.

Jim I came out of the RC church,instead of joining your family you need to be praying them OUT of there.They are in serious error and at risk of eternal damnation.

5 of my 7 children have left the church and taken their once Catholic spouses with them (kids too of course)3 Baptist families,2 Wesleyan families.My other daughter is close,and my husband now comes to services with me as well as his own church.

The problem with the churches of the reformation are mainly found in the mainstream churches..look for a community church or a Baptist church that will appeal to your wife..go and invite them to join you (if you are faithful in time they will)....pray for them and then let God be God!

I will add your family to my prayer list!

What a wonderful testimony! One faithful woman is bringing her whole family to the Gospel.

I can only second what you say. In the various cities where we have lived, we have belonged at various times to Methodist (only a very few congregations of this denomination any longer have anything to do with the Gospel), Free Methodist, Mennonite Brethren, Baptist and (now) Covenant churches. In each instance, we chose the individual body of believers -- not the denominational affiliation -- based upon its faithfulness to the simple, straightforward teachings of the Gospel as we have received it in the New Testament. Any organization of men is subject to error and corruption, but the Gospel is not.

Your advice to Jim is solid -- Rock-solid.
