I find it of interest, when I read Catholic’s both here and on Catholic Answers.com describing Evangelicals I note that the details they mention do not reflect this Evangelicals 35 years personal experience post Rome.
And is it just me but am I the only one in the world that see’s humor in the statement that 1000s of young Evangelicals are crossing the Tiber looking for a moral authority in their church that they are not getting in evangelical land? And what about this intellectual thing? Go to your typical Bible Book Store and find at least some theology books. Go to a Catholic Book Store and read about the latest sighting of the BVM. I leave it to the reader to decide which is more intellectual.
I keep my ear fairly close to the ground with respect to what the Catholics are talking about. Seem’s like they have talking points memo’s because this week it’s bash the non- denominationals. A few weeks ago it was bash the baptists while playing nice to the Anglicans and more recient the Lutherans.
The Catholic Church has 2000 years of written patrimony from the wisest souls and greatest intellects in history. Protestantism has nothing like it to compare.
Stuff and nonsense.
I leave it to the reader to decide which is more intellectual.
This reader is more interested in which description is more truthful. The description of a Catholic Book Store is utterly, completely, thoroughly wrong. It's shameful ... nobody who has actually been in a Catholic bookstore could honestly describe it that way.
