I am not disputing anything in the post, but most people don’t convert into a church (be it Catholic, Protestant, or Eastern Orthodox) from such a studied in depth perspective. They enter a church body because of something more emotional or personal——a faith experience that isn’t logically reasoned. Who am I to question or dispute another’s faith experience?

I agree. I kind of think God just looks down shaking his head at all the in-fighting. This is kind of like Satan's version of Operation Chaos. Watch Christians fight among themselves instead of saving others.

Why Indeed?*

The intent of this post is not to make comparisons between RCism and Mormonism.

Most people that leave the Catholic do so after years of not attending Mass and most had no idea what Catholicism was all about.

Most protestants that convert to the Catholic Church only do so when they come to the realization that the Catholic Church is the one truth Christian faith and they are longing for the truth.
They are only accepted into the Catholic Church after many months of studying the faith and only after their spiritual advisor knows they are truly ready for their new faith.
