Or, I would argue, once a person has a personal experience with the Holy Spirit, they no longer need a priest or pope to tell them what the "Real Presence" is.

It would be more accurate to state the Pope or the Priest “teaches” what the Real Presence is. You ever tried to teach somebody something and they didn’t believe you?

They have experience Him personally. No more.

I would suggest there is more. The "easy believism" of Protestantism can be quite attractive to some Catholics. Your silence regarding my divorce/re-marriage question helps to illustrate my point.

I told you we disagree

Yes, at best we can agree to disagree.

---my point was, despite the original article, this is absolutely not a one-way street

I agree

and far more people are leaving the Catholic church than joining it if you exclude Latin Americans/immigrants.

We will gladly give you our CINO’s and backfill with the Latin immigrants. Since illegals tend not to register with a local Parish, the immigrants accounted for in the survey are here legally. As for the illegals, I’m for sealing the borders and sending them home.

Taking in our CINO’s will also help in re-establishing the WASP population. It’s been declining since the 70’s because of contraception and abortion.
