AAM — most of the folks who blessed the Church, coming from the Episcopal community are “experts” — they put cradle Catholics like me to shame, what do you say, Mark?
In my experience, most converts (at least those who convert because they want to be Catholic, not those who convert because they wish to
marry a Catholic) have a far higher level of zeal than those who don't. That includes those who convert from the Protestant Episcopal Church (TEC, EC-USA, or whatever permutation you choose). The relative level of expertise of former High Church Episcopalians is only natural considering their background. Former Lutherans also have a considerable amount of knowledge due to their background, as well.
BTW, good to see you around these parts AAM...been a while since I've seen your handle around here.
