BTW, are you aware of the origins of Amazing Grace? I won’t sing it because the theology of the song is not Catholic.

What part of these lyrics is anti-Catholic?

Even the author of your blog article makes a decent argument there’s nothing about Amazing Grace that should be viewed as specifically anti-Catholic.
But as for me, I prefer not to discuss my previous sins in a public forum. God has by grace cast them into the sea of His forgetfulness and I am happy to leave them there.
But I will tell you this. The transformation was immediate and miraculous. At the moment I found faith in Christ, my inner life became radically different. And so did my outer life, things over which I had no control. Influences, jobs, etc that were facilitating my problems were suddenly removed, all at once. I have at times said I felt like I was swept into God’s “witness protection program.”
And through it all, there was the unceasing gentle pull of the Savior’s love, appealing to me no matter where I turned to hide from it. Like CS Lewis, I could not escape the Hound of Heaven. And in a moment, in a hotel room in LA, I awoke, like the Prodigal Son suddenly coming to his senses in the middle of the pig pen of his life. And He was there for me, unsightly mess that I was. His grace is sufficient for me. 2 Cor. 12:9.
