Why can’t it rub the other way?
you are who you hang out with
Politely decline, explaining that as a Catholic you don’t wish to participate in their church services. If they keep pushing it and won’t take no for an answer then they are overstepping the mark.I have had people from a evangelical church try to be friends with me and tried to invite me to their church,
Friends do not “bash” their friends’ religious beliefs. These were not real friends.it’s just I had some non-Catholic friends who bashed the Catholic Church, which did some considerable damage to my faith,
So no one has ever converted based on their relationship with a Catholic? It’s impossible?
Conversions only happen occasionally and there are other means anyway, so no one’s obligated to chose a specific method if they don’t want to.Nonsense. Tolkien helped bring CS Lewis back to Christianity through their friendship. I brought a non-Catholic friend to Mass once and soon thereafter sponsored her for baptism. Of course friendship is a powerful tool for evangelization. I don’t know how you could make such a sweeping pronouncement.
Do you mean that he brought him from being an Anglican to Catholic or that he inspired him to be an Anglican? I’m not sure how good the latter really is.Tolkien helped bring CS Lewis back to Christianity through their friendship
