Small-minded bigots base their prejudices on fear, not on facts.
People like us are the worst of them all because we used to be Protestant “Bible-believers”.
If facts mattered, they would consider all of the facts. But maybe they are just afraid of what they would find at the other end of the tunnel.
Had you been a bible believer, you would never have become Catholic...
And I will go so far as to claim that had you been a Spirit filled, born again Christian as a non Catholic, you would never have become Catholic...
