Indeed, what are the Episcopals down to now in numbers? 2 million on the roles and about 800,000 active members. Wonder how that compares to Unitarians.
You know, it's interesting that I've got to go through 9 months of education before I can become fully Catholic. This is unheard of to me. And what I've seen so far, it's seminary level education -- no talking down, no "because the pope said so". It's been high quality theology. I've been impressed. Also a little irritated because I don't want to have to work so hard.
But my point is, like the Marines, the Catholics won't just accept any joker off the street that wants to come on down. You have to want it and demonstrate a serious commitment to get through the process. I like that.
