I’m sorry; I just looked at this a few times and don’t see what the problem is. What did Baldwin do/not do to p*ss off the author?
I’m sure Baldwin is quaking with fear at the thought that some anonymous internet poster doesn’t think he’s a good Christian.
Yes I agree. Singling out someone like Baldwin for what purpose? To suggest he isn’t a “true” Christian? To suggest unless he becomes a Catholic he isn’t entitled to God’s full grace or indeed that he isn’t truly Christian? Nonsense. This kind of sectarianism is counter-productive. To pit “Protestantism” against Catholicism in this fashion is unhelpful and smacks of religious chauvinism of the worst kind. I’d say to the writer: please write a letter to the other Baldwin (we all know which one) encouraging him to seek Christ rather than “outing” a Christian man who lives and works in very difficult and anti-Christian industry.
He didn't roll over immediately and convert to Catholicism.
Baldwin did a good thing, became a Christian, and the author is happy about that. Now we all want Baldwin to come to the true and authentic Christianity of the Catholic Church so that, now that he is interested in saving his soul, he has a sure way to actually do it.
