**He has become aware that the truth about history, scripture, and doctrines was hidden from him by Protestants.**

I don’t know if he’s learning more truth by joining the RCC. But he’s certainly learning more man-made tradition. A LOT more.

Like bowing to statues, and praying to those asleep in Christ. Learning fables, such as Mary being sinless, and not having other children after the birth of Jesus.

You folks toss out more proofs of the scripture than Obama does of the Constitution. But y’all put on a real big show of pagentry.

That worked for a vain protestant friend of my wife over 30 yrs ago. She had no spiritual desire in her change of church, she was just so impressed by “the pagentry of it all”. No profound love of God. No changed life. Just a love of vanity, and she remains the same vain person to this day.

No, he realizes that Protestantism is a man-made tradition. That’s why it only came about in the 16th century.

Wow, a little laundry list of things Protestants often get wrong. By the way, do you know that many Protestants used to believe Jesus was an only child? http://socrates58.blogspot.com/2010/06/john-calvins-belief-in-perpetual.html

“You folks toss out more proofs of the scripture than Obama does of the Constitution. But y’all put on a real big show of pagentry.”

Well, at least we can spell the word pageantry. Products of Government Schools often struggle with such basics.

Well, that’s not the case with my friend.

Pretty sad isn't it? That would describe me, until I came out of a certain works based religion.
