Me too, see previous post. Sounds like a PR puff piece.

Gerry Matatics becoming Catholic is a story, this is not.

I think it is more properly considered a story of conversion, of which there are thousands from any church to the next, available on the internet and in books.

Gerry Matatics becoming Catholic is a story, this is not.

If you care about Catholics, perhaps. I have never heard of this Gerry Matatics so it means nothing to me.

I didn't read any place where Destro said this was supposed to be media-worthy news or anything, it's just a personal story.

You can choose to be offended by it, but methinks your protesting is overly loud.
I never take personal offense when people choose to not convert to the Orthodox church, rather I am surprised when they do, as I was in this case.
