No spiritual lineage? Interesting.

Karl Keating, self proclaimed Catholic magisterium. I think I'll go on a cruise with him to hang out with him.

He is so cool. Even if he is in error.

By the way, I am quite certain that Gerry Matatics is responsible for more conversions to Catholicism than any other Catholic alive today.

Karl Keating is obsessed, as usual. And anyone who knows the years of baggage he brings to this knows exactly what I am talking about.

You can't convert people to something you are not actually a member of.

Matatics has been a technical Sedevacantist for years.

You are welcome on the Catholic Answers cruise, and I would be happy to spend as much private time with you as you require.

As for who is responsible for the most conversions, I can't say. No one and no agency keeps score.

I have met people who credit Gerry with their entry into the Church. I have met far more who have credited Steve Ray or Al Kresta or Jeff Cavins. I have met even more who have credited Scott Hahn. Other names could be added: Fr. John Corapi, Fr. Benedict Groeschel, Peter Kreeft, Jimmy Akin, and more, both clergy and lay.

I think I come into contact with immeasurably more converts than do most Catholics. While he should be applauded for whatever good work he has done, I'd wager that Gerry's name would not appear in the list of top ten convert makers. Remember, the Church is very big and extends far beyond the people you might come in contact with.
