I have written this very thing a number of times on this forum. As a convert myself, I never felt the need to bad-talk my Protestant roots. Nor did I feel a need to bad-talk to my Protestant siblings.

I didn’t feel compelled to show contempt for their choice of church to attend or to aggressively proselytize to them. As a result, one of my sisters tells me how great she thinks the Pope is and the other sister attends Mass with me when she visits from out-of-state. Both of my parents—who were not Catholic—were so happy to be visited by a priest when they were dying. It was a great and unforgettable moment for them-—and for me.

God is good—all the time. All the time, God is good.

I had to give up being snarky to the Episcopalians (my former denomination) for Lent . . . .

. . . .but they're just such easy targets!
