those actually inside the communion and familiar with its rancorous disputes cannot help but chuckle at those blissfully naive, breathless commentaries
"Those actually inside the communion" doesn't include James White, so how would he know?
I'm still trying to find these "rancorous disputes" among Catholics who are actually loyal to the magisterium (as distinct from those who are loyal to what they think the magisterium ought to be), and I don't see it. And I've been "actually inside the communion" now for going on 47 years.
and the warm feeling of "coming home" to the Church (almost never anything about conversion to Christ)
Read your own sister's conversion story, James. You know her, she's "Mrs. Bonds" to you.
“There are none so blind....”
Bump to my post to Jaded at #36. White's sister, Patty Bonds, is a convert. Her story is posted there.
