Frankly, Protestant churches sometimes seem useful to me as training wheels for fallen-away Catholics to draw closer to the Catholic Church while they aren’t yet ready to make the plunge. I’ve known so many Catholics who fell away from the faith, dabbled in Protestantism, and eventually came home to Catholicism, it’s funny.
Naturally, Protestant preachers don’t see their mission as serving as training wheels for a better faith, which is probably why so many of their sermons are subtly preoccupied with attacking Catholicism. When I moved to Virginia, I found I could turn on any given Christian radio station, and hear them endlessly talk against worshipping false idols, to the point I might have suspected Paganism was more common in Virginia than in 1st-century Greece. Of course, the much quieter, private follow-up was that “worshipping” Mary was this sort of idolatry. But someone could listen to these preachers to hours and never suppose they had spoken one word against Catholicism.
And so therein lies the tightrope every Protestant ministry to ex-Catholics must make: be anti-Catholic enough to keep people from going Catholic, but not so blatant as to come off as a bigot, or make the falsehood obvious.
Good attitude I would say.. After all one sheep pen or another is just a sheep pen(John ch 10).. I agree..
