Yes, I know. But here we have a forum designed for spirited exchange. I am not a convert from Protestantism, but I consider Protestantism to be a colossal theological error. Consequently, I express myself in a way that at times comes across as hostility. Of course, Protestants are not exactly shrinking violets themselves when it comes to their criticisms of Catholicism. What I am saying is that former Protestants who convert to Catholicism do not, typically, deny their former faith altogether, they just wish more converted with them. My wife, for example, often points out that Protestants believe what they do because their pastors teach them, and that their desire to find Christ outside of the Catholic Church is sincere and should count for something.
My case is easy since I converted from Orthodoxy, but likewise I have nothing but praise for the Orthodox Church and am very reluctant to criticize it, even when I think to myself that I could.
“What I am saying is that former Protestants who convert to Catholicism do not, typically, deny their former faith altogether, they just wish more converted with them.”
I admit, you would be in a much better position to know this than I. Outside of FR, I can’t really say I know too many protestant converts to Catholicism.
