Another Former Non Catholic Pastor- Another Great Catholic Convert Blog

Standing on My Head has another great story of a Catholic Convert and a link to his blog at his post Sacred Heart .

Father at the beginning of his post gives us an introduction:
Heart for God is a new ministry started by a former Brethren of Christ minister from Pennsylvania.
David Hall maintains a blog and has recently posted about his journey from the Brethren of Christ to the Catholic Church. Like all convert stories, it is absorbing and fascinating. Each convert comes in from a different personal history, but also, here in USA there are a multitude of different Protestant traditions. Brethren of Christ was an extremely conservative, almost Amish sort of Plymouth Brethren group. It's a reminder of Chesterton's idea that there are a thousand ways to fall, but only one way to stand. David is one of the examples of Evangelical Christians coming to the Catholic Church at great personal sacrifice and humility.

However Father's remarks here really struck me as true:
There are some Catholics out there who pick on these men and women. Weirdly, they are usually the ones that demand that all Christians bow the knee to the Supreme Pontiff without reservation. Then when some of us do, and presume to get involved in the Church we're attacked for making the Church Protestant. It's hard enough being persecuted by family and friends for becoming Catholic, but then when the members of your new family pick on you it sort of hurts.

So true!!! IT is hurtful and also it is the height of presumption often. This bashing seems to be increasing in some quarters also.

Well good read and good blog
