Why are you inciting a flame war for the RC v. others?
I am not sure why it is important to illustrate one man's decision. How can that single fact be expected to sway anybody. It is just more red meat for the choir, hoping there are some hungry a capella singers looking for a bite...
I have made it clear that I do not accept the RC hierarchy. Please do not ping me again about this. If I care to comment on a thread, I will do it on my own volition. Thanks, anyway /sarcasm
He wanted mystery, he's got it now...But what nonsense...The 'mystery' was the church...Another mystery was the Rapture of the church...And they have both been revealed in the Scriptures...
When Olmstead entered adulthood, he felt called to serve as a youth minister, and was later ordained a minister in the Presbyterian Church.
Having served as full-time Protestant minister, Olmstead still felt a strong call to a minsterial or religious vocation.
Last year he participated in a 30-day Ignatian Spiritual Exercises retreat to investigate how God wanted him to serve in his new church, and he felt called to serve as a priest.
“At the end of that retreat, I realized that this is where God was calling me,” he said.
Another phony...So in the end, who's this guy leading astray??? According to this guy, God called him to lead Presbyterians astray, or God called him to lead Catholics astray...
