Cradle Catholic Bump!

[Kolokotronis]

““It was never about going to heaven or knowing the Lord. Those things were accomplished while I was in the Pentecostal church. It was simply coming into the fullness of the Christian faith.””

So, Alex, is this what the Latin Church teaches these days? Off hand, do you know who the heresiarch was who ordained this very badly catechized fellow who now gets to peddle heresy to the faithful? He is, as one of our priests once said to a convert from evangelical Protestantism, merely a Protestant in a rasos swinging the thurible.

The more of these conversion stories I read, the more concerned I get about the future of the Latin Church in America.

Fascinating from all these postings, you’d think evangelicals were turning to following Rome in record numbers. I suspect however it’s an advantage of a centralized authoritarian Church organization, as they can systematically get the story of every evangelical who turns.

With all the various evangelical denominations though with “only” Christ as the Authority through His Word, there’s no one to sniff out all the Roman Catholic-to-evangelical conversion stories in these Churches.

Still, if I were a betting man, at least for every one evangelical who becomes Roman Catholic, there are ten Roman Catholics who become evangelical...

I certainly hope he wasn’t a Wright!

And, who knows, perhaps J. Wright may become a convert, too. (~~~~Dreaming~~~~~)
