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.

That was my statement. I apologize — I didn’t mean all Catholics or all evangelicals are like them. I think they are in a genre of their own.

In one very real sense they are. Biden, Pelosi and the like believe that they personally are the ultimate arbiter of truth. Those who reject the Church universally do the same.
