*** Because preaching to nominal Catholics is an easier task than, say, evangelizing muslims, hindus, or secular humanists.***

A nominal Catholic is just as lost and on their way to an eternity separated from God as is a Muslim, Hindu or humanist. They need to hear the gospel and be be converted as mush as anyone else.

Don't you think a nominal Catholic is owed that - especially if all the religion they've had has only brought them to "nominal" status?

Evangelicals also preach to nominal Protestants.


NOBODY will be saved because they are part of some group. Salvation comes through knowing Christ personally and individually.

Fortunately, I suspect most Irishmen will remember the centuries long Protestant oppression of the Irish and they will pay as much heed to these evangelical interlopers as they did to Cromwell. And they will remember that, beginning with the great St. Patrick, the Catholic Church has always stood by their side.
