I’m RC. I took a similar journey as the writer and ended up back in the Church but now read the Bible every day and have gone through it multiple times. I also greatly value the Christian radio I listen to which is all Protestant as well as the devotional daily reader that I use. But I have to be a Catholic. I don’t know whether it is my upbringing but I think it’s probably the Eucharist as well as the Tradition. It’s a bit like CS Lewis saying he had no choice - he had to pray. I’m in the flood and have to swim along as best I can. Mercat stands for Mere Catholicism which is a play on Mere Christianity which I read every year.
Kevin McGrane needs to be told he is still a Catholic. Just not an active one.
And to you, Mercat, welcome home!

I met a Catholic lawyer in the Army. I asked where he went to law school and he replied, “Oral Roberts”. Is aid that was a bit strange. He said that the priest that mentored him made him realize that the Catholic Church was a mission field!
