Guess that's why all Cino politicians try to keep their Catholic creds quiet, cuz no one in the Church ever tried to promote voting for "one of our own", not even in heavily Catholic areas.
Most who become Catholic are rejected by their former friends.
Interesting statement. I've never seen anything of that sort, but then again, I live in an area where Catholics are a large percentage of the population.
On the other hand, Protestant congregations are trained to fawn all over a wayward Catholic. It is a great prize to snatch a Catholic from the fold. A Catholic venturing to a Protestant church will quickly find a new set of zealous “friends.”
We get that in some kind of super secret training sessions that I missed?
As for theology—this article is a joke. Those who become Catholic do so because they have done tons of reading, and thinking and deliberating and praying. They are intelligent and educated in the faith and it is their study of scripture and tradition which leads them to the truth of Catholicism.
After reading a bunch of conversion stories, by generalizing you've missed the mark.
On the other hand, those who leave the Catholic Church are usually divorced and remarried, gay, have a rebellious spirit or are so poorly educated as Catholics that they fall prey to a barrage of bible quotes and cant defend themselves.
Most of the people I know who've left the Catholic Church became atheists or agnostic & no amount of Bible quotes make that sort of thing happen.
I think the Catholic Church & all Protestant denominations would be better served by working to pick up the fruit that's on the ground than trying to pick off the low hanging fruit in each other's trees.

I like that.
