I posted this once before and got no response so I’m trying again.
I am simply looking for an explanation as to why there seems to be a disproportionate number of Protestant ministers, deacons, priests, seminarians, etc converting to the Catholic Church and so few Catholic priests, deacons, seminarians, nuns converting to Protestantism. I realize my observation may be biased - I am a Catholic. But I hold no grudges against Protestants per se. I simply know that there is a wealth of conversion stories available to Catholics from former devout Protestants(seminary trained) who converted to the Catholic Church, yet I haven’t seen the writings of any formerly devout ex-Catholics(seminary trained) who found their home in the Protestant Churches. Can anyone list a few books books of such conversions or do they really not exist?

Thanks,

Phil

You could try looking on an Anglican board. Such books do exist.​

Hey all-

I think I have found a winner! Below is a description of the type of book I was looking for - which is available on line for almost nothing. I didn’t feel right posting the name of the book. Oh well, I guess they are out there after all - kind of disturbing, but somewhat expected…

thanks again,

Phil


**Description: **This book contains the moving testimonies of fifty priests who found their way, by the grace of God, out of the labyrinth of Roman Catholic theology and practice into the light of the gospel of Christ. But this is not a narrowly polemical work, nor is its relevance limited to the ongoing controversy between Rome and the churches of the Reformation. The love and concern felt by the former priests for those they left behind, and their fervent desire that they too should experience the joy and peace of salvation in Christ are seen throughout. The wider relevance of the experiences described will also be felt in many contexts remote from Roman Catholicism where human pride and presumption have erected rival sources of authority between people and the Word of God, so obscuring the way of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone.

Something tells me its name is:​

Far From Rome, Near to God**(50 Testimonies of converted Roman Catholic Priests) 🙂 **##
