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.
Do you know the initial prompting of Hahn’s conversion?
It was words from the Bible that were repeated FOUR times in the Mass. He was hooked right there.
And then he studied.
And look at him now. God bless him and Kimberly for their honest testimonies about their journey.
I encourage you to read their book.
Your a quintessential example of the axiom that it is easier to fight for your brand of faith than to live by your faith.
