A very large number of mainstream Protestant ministers are leaving their denominations and joining the Catholic Church or the Orthodox Church.

The numbers are really quite large.

The membership of Mainstream Protestant Churches has declined dramatically over the last 30 years.

Santorum would appear to be accurate.

As a mainstream protestant minister, it’s not so easy to transition to the priesthood in the CAtholic Church.

For whatever reason those from Episcopal and Lutheran backgrounds are preferred....I suspect it’s due to their liturgical experience and more moderate theology.
