There is such a huge putdown of Catholics by Protestant ministers (which I've witnessed first hand on several occasions) that's it tough to overcome that.

It took me a long time to find a church "home" because of sutff like that. Whenever I heard the minister start into a diatribe about nearly anything - dancing, drinking, any other church - I quit going, because I cannot conceive of a God that isn't satisfied with a person who lives his life true to his faith.

I remember walking out of one Baptist service because the fundamental minister was in the middle of a three-hour roll about a petition that was drawn up to allow liquor by-the-drink to be served in the little town I then lived in.

I eventually became an Anglican Catholic (Episcopal, the "daughter" of the Church of England), and have yet to regret the decision.

Care to clarify? That's pretty open ended...

Wiccans can be true to their faith.
