You know, this piece is really magnificent!
Yes! It ties in perfectly with the article written by Steve Wood, another convert. In it he explains How I led Catholics Out of the Church .
STEP 1: Get Catholics to have a conversion experience in a Protestant setting. - Protestant pastors, evangelists, youth leaders, and lay ministers are acutely aware that conversion experiences in Protestant settings often lead to a Protestant faith and church membership.
In Hahn's case, the reverse was true. He had the conversion experience in a Catholic setting. And it was precisely his years of reading the Bible that enabled him to recognize all the Scriptural passages that make up the liturgy.
I printed out and shared Steve Wood's story with my pastor. He was most appreciative. It is a valuable tool in assessing the strengths and weaknesses of our catechesis. Catholic and Orthodox celebrate liturgies that date back to the very beginning, long before the advent of the printing press. It was the only way to catechize the faithful. Following the advent of the printing press and Luther's message that anyone could read and interpret Scripture, the liturgy was lost on those who had a pocket edition of their KJV Bible and felt emboldened to challenge the liturgical messages.
All of this factors into the papal attempts to bring christians back into one fold, which is what Christ intended.
