"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."

Apparently you missed the part of Vatican II that said that Protestants cannot be saved (though pagans can; they're invincibly ignorant) unless they acknowledge the Pope's authority. And WE'RE putting YOU down?
