Catholic / Anglican ping!
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:
Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of general interest.
And so it begins. Pope Benedict has come to us at the turning of the tide.
I heard a Roman Catholic apologist once with a similar story....going from one semi-pelagian (do-your-best-God-will-do-the-rest) form of Christianity to another. Pentecostal-E. Free-Episcopal-Roman, none of which really are actually “evangelical” by the way (in spite of the name “Evangelical Free” (it derives from the historic continental European use of “evangelical” which just means protestant), and certainly not reformed.
Anyway, for every “evangelical” to go to Rome, I reckon I could find 10 evangelicals who came from Rome.
Shalom!
(sigh) I love stories like this. Thanks so much for posting, NYer. Makes me feel again that I’m not alone as I paddle across the Tiber.
No testimony of repentance/turning to Jesus...Not even a single mention of Jesus in the entire article...
**To be a Christian, but particularly to be a priest, you have to be willing to climb on the cross every day, and stay there, and suffer. Service means some degree of suffering, but there is so much delight in all of that as well.**
This is one thing that the unchurched in the world don’t understand.
May God bless you abundantly, Father Douglas Grandon!
