No, you don’t work with such a man. No one according to the Church has to become Catholic to marry a Catholic. He CHOSE to become Catholic and God help him if he did it merely to have a Catholic wedding.

“He got the ‘holy water treatment’ and now he’s a Catholic Crhistian...What an insult to Jesus Christ...He’s no more a Christian than Osama Bin Laden...”

Maybe he isn’t, but others are. And, in fact, you do not know the heart of Magdi Allam and are in no position to judge his faith. You never even heard of him until you saw this article or one like it, right?

“There are thousands of former Arab muzlims who have accepted the free gift of Salvation offered by Jesus Christ (for real)...”

And we all have reason to believe Magdi Allam is one of them. Present your evidence to the contrary. Oh, what’s that? You have none at all? Nothing? Yeah, that’s pretty much what we all knew already.

Sure he did...Otherwise the woman wouldn't have married him because your religion convinced her it wouldn't be a valid marriage without him becoming a Catholic...You know that...

But that's the point...He claims to be a Catholic Christian and you guys accept him into your fold as one of you...Maybe none of you are Christians...(Birds of a feather flock together, don't they?)

And, in fact, you do not know the heart of Magdi Allam and are in no position to judge his faith. You never even heard of him until you saw this article or one like it, right?

It's called a testimony...Did this muzlim ever claim to become a follower of Jesus, a disciple of Jesus Christ??? Did Jesus become his Savior, or did he just say he is joining the Catholic religion???
