I will be opening the thread because the article raises issues which the Protestants may need to address, e.g.:

This “reinvent the wheel as often as you need to” mentality that is at the heart of Protestantism’s pastoral ethos was deeply disturbing to me. “Why should I have to reinvent the wheel?” I asked myself in annoyance. “What about the Christian ministers down through the centuries who faced the same issues? What did they do?” Protestantism’s emancipation from Rome’s “manmade” laws and dogmas and customs that had “shackled” Christians for centuries (that, of course, was how we were taught in seminary to view the “triumph” of the Reformation over Romanism) began to look a lot more like anarchy than genuine freedom.

Thank you for opening this thread, not that I have anything to say directly about it.

The portion of the article you cited was a description of his journey. There is no doubt that the Roman Catholic Church offers a good "discipline" for those who feel they need one.
