Heh heh. No thanks. I'm Methodist and that's about as close as you'll get this ol' Southern boy to Catholicism. My family has a slew of Southern Baptist preachers in it and I heard about that switch for months. Heck, I'm half disowned..LOL

Sorry to hear of the family issues, but Jesus told us that would happen right? Take care.

They aren't too mad at me. Traced back my family line and they came from French Hugenots, then Methodist. It's only been in the past 3 generations that they're Baptist. I see the denominations as a mess for the most part. If they believe and follow the basic principles of the New Testament, believe on Christ alone, and don't preach heresy (like same sex marriages, etc.) we're all good. And we'll all get there. IIRC, the Southern Baptists and Catholics had long going theological discussions about their general likenesses. A lot of the rest, not all though, is just denominational bantering about picky issues.

Have a good one
