LOL. I'm a "Cath" who loves listening to R.C. (since the 1980's) and have learned a ton from him. Just like anyone else, I take what is good, and throw out what I see as not squarely biblical, not in line with historical Church teaching, and occasional mis-characterizations of Catholic teaching. A mature and informed Christian can learn something from every good teacher.
You’re right. I think the Lord works in ways we do not often discern, to bring us to Him.
