I guarantee you that will never be my story.

Got kind of boring.

I don’t think conversion is the right term.

He uses it twice. He “converted” from Baptist to Presbyterian. And converted to Catholic.

He was Christian the whole time so I see no conversion, but rather a switch.

J.I. Packer recently wrote in Christianity Today (May 1989) that the contrast between the "zany wildness" of Protestantism and the "at-homeness" of Catholicism

Recently wrote? In 1989? 26 years ago. Little more than this "zany" Protestant can take.

Story Of A Three Year Journey:of An Anti-Catholic Who Converted To Catholicism

Why did you change the name of the article?

[tumblindice]

“the zany wildness of Protestantism versus the at-homeness of catholicism”
Isn’t this verbatim from the Book of Brian?
(Yeah, Catholicism is like down-home cooking ...)

Today the inflammatory rhetoric is largely gone

HA. Author has apparently never visited FR.

Great post.

Why would Mr. Tucker have his conversion to Roman Catholicism story on a Reformed website (http://www.reformed.org/)?

[Slyfox]

This is a great article. Thanks for posting.

I’m sticking with non-denominationalism. Who needs popes, priests, pastors, preachers, etc. telling them what to believe when they can get God’s word direct and unadulterated from the Bible?

[arthurus]

and he must do so in communion with the Bishops.

And it must be a matter that has always been believed by the faithful.

As a writer, Tucker has contributed scholarly efforts and humorous essays to LewRockwell.com, the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and elsewhere. Examples of the latter essays include his defense of morning drinking,[9] his advice on "How to Dress Like a Man",[10] his attack on shaving cream,[11] and his admiration for the speedy-service haircut.[12] He is a critic[13] of the Grameen Bank which, along with its founder Muhammad Yunus, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.[14] Describing himself as a "dedicated anarchist",[15] Tucker has authored numerous articles (many of which published on the aforementioned websites) and three books on topics such as libertarian anarchism, capitalism, Austrian economics, and alternative currencies, especially Bitcoin and its competing variants.[16][17][18]

Tucker was editor of Mises.org from 1997 until late 2011 when he was hired by Addison Wiggin as executive editor of Laissez Faire Books.[2]

He is now CEO of Liberty.me - a subscription-based "social network and online publishing platform for the liberty minded".[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Tucker)

I believe that all good Protestants who obey their churches are good people.

I believe that all good Catholics who obey their churches are good people.

Frying pan to fire, my friend. The progressives are taking it over just like they did the Episcopal church. The best church is the church of Self. I found i didn’t need all the prayer books and liturgical mumbo jumbo. And the “rules” I set for myself wouldn’t get passed by any “organized church” in these ...anything goes...days. I don’t have to convince people there is a God, ...I know He exists. And evolution is God’s ongoing , and amazing, work of continuous creation. You don’t believe this? ...guess what, I don’t care. :-)

[Old Yeller]

It takes a legal mind to navigate all the rules and regulations that the Church of Rome has established, then changed over the centuries. Surely God did not intend for salvation to be so convoluted. Many times in Scripture God promises that you can have assurance of your salvation. The Church of Rome always leaves you in doubt, so that you always fear death because you can’t have that promised assurance.

>>the "at-homeness" of Catholicism<<

I've heard many people claim that "at home" welcome in bars also. Just sayin

[fwdude]

So, he added the idol Mary to his “Christianity.” Yes, the IDOL.
