As opposed to Catholics, who never personally chose Catholicism.
you jest, right? I assume that you have read how many of us have come to, or come home to, the Church. Unlike jumping from one Protestant community to another, embracing the Church is not a decision thT is entered into lightly.
This person is persistently trolling the Catholic threads. Based on what I have read, I see no indication of an open mind or sincere attempt to engage, but rather a desire to wage war on what he/she perceives as an abomination from the perspective of his/her particular Protestant sect. If there is no sincerity of engagement other than a mission to take down the Church, can we better focus our dialog on more sincere and fruitful correspondents?
"When it comes to the health of women, their babies, and their children, the Catholic Church is there, the most effective private provider of such care anywhere around."
Ah, but there can easily come a point where our resolution is more the product of pride than charity, and this is a different sort of temptation. Hence my reference to Mark 6:11 “And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you; going forth from thence, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them.”
