Are Catholics and Evangelicals cut from the same cloth?
by David Batstone

Wheaton College pulled a shocker last spring by terminating the teaching contract
of a professor following his conversion to Catholicism. Though popular among students
and highly respected by his peers, The Wall Street Journal reported, assistant professor
Joshua Hochschild became controversial once he shifted theological camps.

SNIP-->
In the church of my childhood - a staunch evangelical church in central Illinois,
just a few hours drive from Wheaton - Catholics were not considered to be Christians. :wtf:
I was taught in Sunday School that Catholics did not read the Bible and elevated Mary
the mother of Jesus into a fourth place in the Trinity. Worse yet, we learned that
Catholics did not believe Jesus died once and for all for our sins;
he had to repeat the act every time the Catholics took Holy Communion.
:rofl:

My understanding of Catholics changed when I began working in ministry in
poor communities first in the United States, and then Latin America.
I met Catholics who loved to read the Bible and faithfully explore its message
for their lives. On many occasions, I was humbled by their sacrificial quest
to follow the path of Jesus. <--SNIP
