[Alex Murphy]

One thing you need to bear in mind: while the doctrinal teaching pretty much defines Protestant denominations, it is participation in the sacraments that defines Catholicity. Where a Protestant denomination splits over doctrine, the Catholic Church expects her members to know the doctrine, struggle to embrace it, repent of the failures, and persevere, but it would never turn a Catholic away.

Quite true. And well put.

That may be true, but Catholics can sure make a "redneck" convert feel like an orphan and an inferior because of differences in the cultures. Methinks that had I been a member of a more "politically correct" group my experience would have been very different.
