“A huge thing for me is mystery,” he said. “I really need mystery and mystery in my faith. The Catholic Church (allows) me to have that mystery — Christ held that for me.”

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...

Well, if he was teaching his former flock the errors of Calvinism, he was leading them astray.

Baloney. God called him home to the Church founded by Christ. Perhaps he will then lead some of his former flock out of Presbyterianism and onward to the Catholic Church.
