There are a lot of protestant “theologians” who do not have the intellectual capabilities to ever become a Catholic priest.
Sure, anyone can sit in the pews in a Catholic church.
Catholicism is the thinking man’s Christianity. Calvinism is the lazy man’s Christianity.
I find it interesting that virtually all of the Catholic to Protestant conversion stories were ones rooted in emotional reactions to a misunderstanding of the Catholic teaching on grace.
That was true for Martin Luther and individuals like the one in the article.
If salvation is an eternal thing that you can’t lose through laxity or spiritual laziness, then who wouldn’t want to find the path of least resistance?
Calvinism selectively cherrypicks verses to fit its theory while ignoring those that object to it.
What objectively on the basis of scripure alone makes the Calvinists right and the Arminians or Lutherans wrong?

AMEN!!!
I agree 100%!
It takes GENIUS level brain power to take God’s Word and turn it into a pretzel.
I’ve had a RCC seminary professor tell me that “born again” doesn’t mean “born again” and I had a Jesuit tell me that Jesus was not bodily resurrected. Yep, those guys are too smart for the average “protestant”.

We can't all be brainiacs like you guys and Peter...Peter must have studied the Five Foot Shelf of Classics in between casts with his Shakespeare rod and reel...
You are light years away from the qualifications Jesus put on folks that he picked for church leaders...
My great-grandfather was a Lutheran minister and he was not dumb or intellectually deficient. His books are now at Northwestern University.
I’m glad not all Catholics think like you.
