No, I knew you were being snarky. Billy Graham set up a “cottage industry” selling books, doing revivals etc. should we impugn his beliefs? The 700 Club isn’t just a “cottage industry” it’s a media giant, should we snark all over Pat Roberts?
You’re obviously defensive and overly sensitive about your Catholicism. Might I suggest a focus on Jesus and not on your membership card. This is probably why you are bringing in other ministries as a diversion, a focus on groups and clubs and denominations made by man. Besides, there are other absurdities about those anaologies but I won’t bother with.
Which is the point, a focus on man’s creations. Any Presbyterian pastor who has a dramatic “conversion” to Catholicism, or any other part of Christendom for that matter, is problematic because as a Pres Pastor he should have already been a Christian, making a jump to somewhere else merely a transfer and not some life changing issue.
Now if he only found Christ in the Catholic church, and was indeed a poseur as a Presbyterian Pastor (quite possible), then this dramatic life changing experience should be about Christ and not about Rome. This defensiveness about the big C has just never ever really comported with my knowledge of the big J.
In fact, with regard to that, might I suggest the Book of Revelation, the 7 letters to the 7 Churches.
