you see more protestants because the show is about scoring points against protestantism, not about winning souls for christ. i stopped listening because I found it very disturbing - i could start to understand how the Inquisition happened. there’s something in a lot of catholics that makes them uncomfortable with the idea that anyone would dare be a christian and not belong to the roman church. they’re more intolerant of non-catholic christians than of people who don’t believe in Christ to begin with. that’s the definite vibe i get form “The Journey Home”

That's how cults work. They don't follow Christ alone, they follow the "church".

True, and the fact that there are far more Prots to begin with. And all they major on is their church. Rarely can you find a RC that you can fellowship with about the profound changes of regeneration we realized and how God has and is working in our lives and that of others. Instead they typically are either apathetic or antagonistic at such.

Most do not even like the charismatic RCs, which is about the closest you will get to finding some who know the Lord. I say this as one who was raised devout RC, I became manifestly born again thru tearful repentance and faith in the risen Lord Jesus to save me as a damned + destitute sinner, on His expense and credit, and realized profound changes in heart and life.

And before the Lord led me out into evangelical fellowship, I remained as a weekly (and holy days) RC participant for 6 years after, serving for some time as a CCD teacher and lector. But while due to being born again i had an deep hunger to know how to please God from the Bible, and wanted fellowship with others who had the same, i found this outside Rome, with only a very few within it.
