It should be noted that many who left the Catholic Faith, usually for a non-denominational mega church, often can't give a theological reason.  They can only say that they enjoy the liveliness and entertainment that a mega church often provides.

We swam it. I thank God every day for throwing me in the Tiber.

Ok here we go, a handful of scholars converting to RCC does not a movement make, though it does beef up your propaganda pieces a bit. As a Protestant on the ground among many Catholics everyday in the military, I can assure you that I have personally led many of yours to a personal relationship with Christ. All I do is read them the scriptures. The words of grace spoken of by Paul do more than remove the barnacles of “tradition,” they convert the soul.

Interesting. So many people have wondered what the Church would do about the priest shortage. How incredible it would be if the ranks were swelled by the ministers of other denominations.

It started with Scott Hahn and it is still going strong.

Honestly, he lost me right here. He might as well have said, "It started with Cardinal Newman," if he had to give a historical background :-).

Interesting article, but more interesting thread. And after reading through it, all I can say is that this former born again Christian is both thrilled and relieved to no longer have the need to be affiliated with ANY religious organization, church, etc.

I use to see things through such a narrow, self-righteous and arrogant focus. It’s so comforting to have finally moved forward and beyond the confines, resting in the peace and understanding that God is so much bigger.

Wow look at all the Catholic-bashers flocking to the thread. Such a shock! (not) Where, oh where, is the “ignore” button that FR so desperately needs so that I don’t need to read these idiots on every Catholic-related thread?

Did not want you to miss this thread, secretly slipped in.

Why don't Catholics like to say Catholic Christian?

I am Greek Orthodox and I say I am Orthodox Christian.
