There's a difference here. I wouldn't expect a Hamas member to be a former Jew. Rick Adams is a former Catholic who has dissected the 1994 Catechism of the Catholic Church. Big difference there.
Unfortunately, he did it as a Protestant with Sola Fide and Sola Scriptura as his theological background. Thus, all Scripture is filtered through those lenses. Anything deviating from the party-line is dubbed heretical. There is one general truism that seems to be experientially proven in the Mr. Wood's article...Most Catholics don't know their own faith. I teach it and see it myself. It is not a wonder why so many Catholics fall away - they don't know their faith and how vibrant it can be.
In my time on FP, I run into former Catholics nearly weekly. EVERY ONE OF THEM claims that they became Protestant because they found some dogma lacking (it NEVER is because they had personal issues or were lazy...). Yet, when I ask simple quesions from the Catholic teachings, they parrot the Protestant interpretations. This tells me they knew very little, fell away, left, got energized at a Protestant community (great, at least they are placing Christ in their lives again), and THEN were taught how screwed up Catholic theology is. When they hear it enough, they realize how grateful they are for "waking up to the truth"... If I had a dollar for every former Catholic who said "I studied the faith and found it lacking"... But after 2 or 3 posts, it is OBVIOUS they don't have a clue. I find Wood's analysis on this to be true.
You are correct to correct my analogy of my previous post - but it leads to the same result. One who hates will not be objective about the one he hates...If you REALLY want to learn what Catholics believe, ask a devout Catholic who knows their faith or read Catholic sources, not propaganda.
