I had my baptist youth pastor tell me the same thing when I told him I wanted to be come Catholic. I just laugh at it now. I made me angry at the time however. My priest now just tells me “they don’t know what they don’t know”. That youth pastor did not get it and he never will as far as I’m concerned. Then again, pray I am wrong. If he converted I’d do a Fred Sanford. “OH ELIZABETH! IT’S THE BIG ONE!!”
