I was a Protestant for 32 years in 6 different congregations of varying denomination before I became Catholic 1 year ago. And yet when I mention my disatisfation with Protestantism, I get waves of personal attacks by angry Protestants accusing me of being a sheltered Catholic.

The best responses are the folks who accuse me of growing up as a naive Catholic and attacking them (personally!) out of ignorance because I’ve never studied or lived anything outside of Catholicism. They make vicious, scolding accusations and say I’m being nasty for observing.

So here we go, a disclaimer for all you angry Protestants who pounce when I express my own experience: As the Catholic Church explicitly teaches, I don’t believe you’re going to Hell for not being Catholic since Catholicism itself doesn’t save a person. This is a basic teaching.

I am extremely dissatisfied with the heresy allowed to run rampant in the American Protestant churches. I have seen whole families consumed by evil because they trusted false teachers. And yes, as folks shout, this is not exclusive to Prots, plenty of Catholics commit heresy.

I have found relief and peace after 32 years of searching and dissatisfaction. I expressed my frustration for all those years as a Protestant and I’m not going to stop discussing it now that I’ve crossed a magic denomination line as if converting wipes out my experience.

So, long story short: I am more than happy to be a friend of any fellow Christians of any denomination and will not treat you any differently. But I will openly criticize as I please the issues I see in all churches. If that’s an issue and makes you angry, it’s yours, not mine.
