Catholics have a hard time understanding that 1000 could leave and become catholic and all we would do is shrug.. belonging to a church or going to church or calling oneself an "evangelical" means nothing to us .. Our question is are they saved? We do not believe a person truly regenerated by a work of the Holy Spirit, that has repented and believed that Christ paid the penalty for all their sin would ever convert to Catholicism ..they would never accept that the cross was insufficient ..

So what comes to the Catholic church are people still looking to be saved.. or feel holy or become famous or move up in an ecumenical group that has catholic leadership.. in other words they are seekers for themselves .

So we are actually glad they outed themselves as tares and will not be teaching or preaching in our churches.

So the list you present has no meaning for us.. just good riddance

They are easily impressed with numbers (ONE BILLION STRONG) and names. Unless those names are Pelosi, Kennedy, Madonna, etc.

The Big Flock Mentality.

You’d think the Bible had never warned of apostasy.

But it’s hardly something to celebrate.
