And I’ve met many confused people who turn to the Catholic Church for a dose of smells and bells.

I call b.s.

If you know people who went Catholic for "smells and bells" then I know evangelicals who got "saved" to get more business!

“I call b.s.”

Sorry, it’s not bs.

And you’re probably very right about the false conversion of some evangelicals.

But here’s the crux: conversions, sincere or fake, go both ways.

A conversion of person “X” to Catholicism doesn’t disprove Evangelicalism any more than the conversion of person “Y” to Evangelicalism disproves Catholicism.

The only debate any Evangelical and Catholic should have is over one issue: Authority.

All other debates are a waste of time. All discussions regarding numbers of conversions and horsetrading are ultimately a waste of time.
