When I hear the reasons for why an Evangelical leader becomes Catholic, it’s never convincing to me. It always sounds like they see worldiness in it that they like better, like not having to take Genesis literally.

You are, of course, entitled to your inferences. However, one would expect some support for those inferences, particularly when said inferences have a firmly established home elsewhere in Protestantism.

Conversely, the motivations of prominent Catholics who become Protestant seem rather obvious as, including Martin Luther himself, they invariably renege on their vows of celibacy.

And what does being a religious leader prove?

A more than capricious interest in the faith traditions they walk away from.
