You mentioned 40 plus years.
This is occurring now. Large First Communion Classes. Large RCIA classes. We have 15 adults in our Catholics Can Come Home class this year.
I appreciate your kind words about Pope Benedict XVI. He is a very good man, please pray for him.
Did you think the author was slamming evangelicals? I didn’t. I have some good evangelical friends, and although I disagree with their conepts, they are good people doing good things.
The reply originated because of the insinuation that the individuals moving toward the Protestant side were of the timber of Pelosi, Biden and Sibelius. The people that I know that have come from the Catholic side were nothing like them. What you are seeing is a movement of people toward Christ and away from phony spiritualism. This has become more pronounced in the Protestant churches in the last 20 or so years. Where it used to be mainly in the mainline denominations, it has now crept into hitherto Evangelical type organizations as well. Guys like Benny Hinn and Joel Osteen, among others, don’t reflect well on this side of the fence. People are looking for something better and many are drawn to Christ where He is preached. I’ve seen it here and you’re seeing it there as well.
