No, if you look closely, you’ll discover that those Protestants are just being MORE Protestant. They’re doing what they want to do. That’s what Protestantism has always been about: a false belief in total freedom, a self-directed and subjective view of salvation based on feelings, etc.

Excellent post,dear brother. Right on target!

Thank you!

The best thing that could happen is for Protestants to become Catholics or at least to become more Catholic, and for Catholics to become less Protestant in their outlook and understanding of the faith.

A friend of mine, a former Lutheran minister who is now a Catholic and may be ordained as a priest in the not-too-distant future, makes the same point all the time. He constantly urges his fellow Catholics to strip away Protestant tendencies from their lives. He wants only the truth, the Catholic truth and nothing but the traditional Catholic truth. It’s humbling and inspiring to hear this come from a man who I know loves God with his whole heart and who also was a Protestant just a few years ago. God works miracles indeed!
