I have watched that show many times. As a preacher and pastor, and a student of the Roman Catholic Church, my assessment is that many of those stories are from people who either have a poor understanding of Scripture, or are moving for reasons other than theology.

I will not convince you either, but there is far too much that the RC teaches that i find offensive to Scripture. We could begin with a celibate priesthood, the Pope as the Vicar of Christ, the many assertions (non-Scriptural) about Mary (such as the Immaculate Conception), the Real Presence, the emphasis on the Saints, even the process of designating someone as a Saint...all of it extremely problematical.

I have been a pastor-teacher for 31 years. I have yet to find any reason for accepting the Roman Catholic Church as the True, and only, church.

And am a mere autodidact. Just a poor soul dependent upon God's grace who considers all but the knowledge of Christ as dung.

I will not convince you either

So why don't we just pray for each other and look for the day when the dark glasses are taken off.
