What I meant by alternatives is that one need not go over to Rome when one is disillusioned by Anglicanism. The doctrine of the reformers is alive and well in many evangelical Protestant churches like Baptists or Orthodox Presbyterian. I did not mean to insinuate that choosing one’s church is like picking an item off a menu. The truth of scripture is given in many churches that are not Roman Catholic. If the church is Bible based and the Word of God is preached in spirit and truth then you are in the right place. My curiosity was why this man decided to embrace Roman Catholicism that is all.

Okay, so let me get this straight. You think Anglicans who are leaving Anglicanism for the catholic faith are doing it because they are interested in embracing the “doctrines of the reformers”?
“I did not mean to insinuate that choosing one’s church is like picking an item off a menu.”
So the “doctrine of the reformers” isn’t making doctrine into a menu item?
‘The truth of scripture is given in many churches that are not Roman Catholic.”
No, actually none of the Protestant sects do so.
“If the church is Bible based and the Word of God is preached in spirit and truth then you are in the right place. My curiosity was why this man decided to embrace Roman Catholicism that is all.”
Because he wanted the truth. And he found it. He found Christ’s Church - the Catholic Church.
