“my theology gives me no assurance of salvation; the Bible offers me that assurance”
Jesus offers that assurance. This man abandoned him because he is an idiot who doesn’t know where salvation comes from.
I figure I’ve got roughly 50 years of Purgatory to go through before the big Maitre’ D comes to seat me at a table. I’ll wait at the bar.
...set upon a career of attacking his former church to justify breaking his vows.
We've seen these tales somewhere before.
“As you can see, even Roman Catholic Priests can discover the truth found in God’s word and escape the error of the Roman Catholic system of works righteousness. To God be the glory.”
Amen brother! No one has an obligation to remain in error and bondage upon discovering the TRUTH!

Only 50 priests out of how many worldwide? These were folks who wanted the “Protestant” view of Scripture where any person is free to crack open the Bible (a set of books deemed authentic by the Catholic Church) and provide “their” own interpretation and of course they have a large choice of 35,000 Protestant sects and sub-sects or why not simply start up your “own” congregations in the traditions of Rev. Schuller; Rev. Jeremiah Wright; or Joel Osteen.
Was the purpose of your post to encourage derision and mocking of Christians who believe the Word that states that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and not of works? I think I’m in the wrong place.

Over 1000 ordained Protestant pastors have become Catholic in the last decade. CHN is here to help them on their journey. “The purpose of the Coming Home Network International (CHNetwork) is to provide fellowship, encouragement, and support to men and women who are considering becoming Catholic and those who have already come home. In particular, the Coming Home Network seeks to assist non-Catholic clergy who often face acute difficulties and struggles during their journeys.”

Dr. Scott Hahn explains through his legendary testimony how he was militantly anti-Catholic but self-driven to seek the truth.
This ultimately led him into the Catholic Church. He soon became an ardent defender of the Faith and one of its most passionate promoters.

Fr. Francis Jamieson was born and brought up in England as a Protestant. He was later ordained. It wasn’t long before Fr. Francis realized that it was the Catholic Church that made any real sense

I began to readpapal encyclicals, Vatican II documents, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, theologians such as Louis Bouyer, Hans Urs von Balthasar, and Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger. I conversed with other Protestant pastors who had become Catholic and with priests who had grown up in the faithall were eager evangelizers. The more I read and talked, the more convinced I became of the truth of the Catholic Churchs teachings and doctrine.
The conversion story of Marcus Grodi
Becoming Catholic was never my dream or intent. It is still an all too vivid memory to me, sitting alone at age 40 in a half-lit basement, having resigned from the pastorate. I ached for having abandoned the weekly privilege of a pulpit from which to proclaim Gods truth. Would I ever have this privilege again? Will I ever again have a pulpit? Now they estimate that each week from the pulpit of The Journey Home television program I speak to a potential audience of over a billion viewers and listeners. In one night I speak to more people than I ever could have in my entire career as a Protestant minister. This is the humor of our merciful God. Before I converted I had no idea whatsoever how I would support my family let alone how I would continue in ministry. But this is getting way ahead of myself.
Testimony from former Protestant Ministers who discovered the truth:

What Rush would call “parade of human debris”.
