Rather, mere thinking and researching can equate to "Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:7) But if true searching leads souls to the true Church, then Rome cannot be it, as not only does this mean that souls come to know Truth by the evangelical means of objective examination of the evidence - which honestly brings me to see more certainly the critical contrast btwn the NT church and Rome - but this is not what a faithful RC is to engage in so as to ascertain the veracity of RC teaching.
Or are you advocating an evangelical means of obtaining assurance of Truth which Truth means rejecting that means of assurance of Truth?
Meanwhile, it is also rare to see notable Mormon leaders or JW's becoming evangelicals, are like leaders in Rome, they have chosen deception over Truth. while it was the learned who mostly rejected the Lord Jesus, while "the common people heard him gladly." (Mark 12:37)
She me the protestant equivalent of the show listed below and I will be the first to watch it.

In my experience the wisest, most serious-minded, most probing, most searching Christians end up converting from Protestantism to Catholicism, not the other way around. Also, converts from Protestantism to Catholicism typically loved their Protestant faith and knew it and understood it well. Converts from Catholicism to Protestantism, on the other hand, typically never loved the Catholic faith and were very poorly catechized. Give that some thought, because it’s true.
