There are many holes in Dr. Scott Hahns beliefs and conversion that I wont take the time to discuss. From independent sources it appears Dr. Scott Hahn is a loose cannon at best. This was the same conclusion I came to in reading this article. As only one example in his testimony he says,
They read more Scripture, I thought, in a weekday Mass than we read in a Sunday service.
This is an astounding statement since these are the same Sunday services he was pasturing. One would hope that if this was the case he would have included more scripture in his sermons. There are many more of these weird assertions throughout this testimony.
I know this may seem like a Protestant (a Calvinist no less) bashing a Catholic but his doctrine and beliefs seem to be erratic and the examples are too numerous to mention here. But as one example, in his Protestants days he was involved with a hard-core Arminian youth group while professing to be a Calvinist. Now hes involved with charismatic Catholics and his Catholic beliefs and teachings are suspect at best. Please do not take my word for it but see the following Catholic website:

I was going to post it but it is 82 pages long.
Because he's changed his mind you now consider him suspect? After all, the two greatest heretics of all time, Luther and Calvin, changed their minds.
Dr. Hahn is a professor of Scripture at Franciscan University of Steubenville. Steubenville is one of the few Catholic schools on this continent where the entire theology faculty takes an oath to be obedient to the Roman magisterium. If Dr. Hahn were heterodox in any significant way, he's already on record saying he's bound to obey the order to change his teachings.
Bob Sungenis is a lay apologist. He runs his own apologetics apostolate, responsible to nobody but himself. The fact that he calls it "Catholic Apologetics International" does not prove anything about its orthodoxy or reliability.
Going to Bob Sungenis to trash Scott Hahn mostly just proves that some people disagree with Scott Hahn. But we all already knew that.
There are many more of these weird assertions throughout this testimony.
"Weird" it may be to you. But it is also "true". I've attended services several times (sometimes dozens) each at Presbyterian, Methodist, Charismatic/Evangelical nondenominational, and almost every flavor of Baptist. There is no question that they do "read more Scripture" at a liturgical church (including Lutheran, Anglican/Episcopalian and Orthodox) than at any of the other churches.
Now, an attendee at you're average "Baptist" church will likely hear appreciably more preaching about Scripture, but not "more Scripture". Too often it's cherry-picked verses in three or four places to support a point.
