Why does the Catholic Church accept non-Catholics (and even keeps some former non-Catholic priests bound to their marriage vows)? For the same reason that Satan possesses and tortures a child.

A soul is a soul.

Many priestly converts have already finished raising children. Thus, they can cowboy up some souls for Christ and focus on this most important mission. Not all Protestant clergy converts are married priests. Furthermore, not all Catholics who help minister Grace are Priests. Perhaps statistics for Eucharistic ministers and Deacons should be examined. They don't say Mass, but they participate in a vital function for the Church. How have their numbers been in the last 100 to 200 years?

400 hundred sounds like big number at first. But how many converts to the Catholic Faith have their been in recent living history?

I'm flabbergasted. I can't make heads or tails out of your post.

I think you lost me when you compared the Anglican Dispensation to Satan torturing children.

Wanna try again?
