“crazy junk.” (his words)

I almost didn't post this because the assertion usually generates a LOT of heat, but I have found over the last 15 or so years that "crazy junk" usually turns out to be "groin issues". God is merciful though.

Oh nothing like that.....he was comparing us (Nazarenes) to other local churches most of which are Charismatic, speaking in tongues (without deference to 1 Corinthians 14:27-28) Holy Rollers.

Although I have heard of people leaving the Catholic Church for the reason that you alluded to I have yet to meet any whose reason that I could verify if I so chose. Mainly they just said they “didn’t feel comfortable there any longer.”

Yes, that family has 3 young sons

Read one of Chesty Puller’s biographies. “Marine” or “Chesty.”

During both WWII and Korea, Marine (read Navy) chaplains from the various protestant denominations came to him complaining that Marines were leaving them to become Catholics. Chesty, an Episcopalian himself, investigated and found out why that was happening.

The fault laid in the protestant chaplains themselves, the way they were recruited by their denominations and assigned to the various military units, and their own actions in combat situations with respect to the men....as opposed to the way the Roman Chatholics did those things.

After my own return to the Catholic Church I began to engage in apologetics work and I found this to be completely true. Quite a few left so they could remarry with out having to go through the annulment process, or because their request had been denied. Many also left over the issue of contraception.
