Why Convert To Rc ?

I watched the exposé of the Vatican last night .Silence in the House of God,
which was shocking in the extreme but afterwards, I thought why have over 1000 parishioners and 60 Anglican clerics joined the RC Church in the past two years.
If you asked these same people . Would you join an organisation that supports and protects paedophiles ? We know what their answer would be be but that is precisely what they are doing.

People convert because the Anglican church is heading towards accepting Gay marriage and already has women priests , as simple as that. They can not even see or think about anything other. Over 90% of the converts are female and 'straight'. The same people (House of Laity) who overturned the proposal to allow women bishops in the Anglican Church, despite...

"Do you know how to interpret the appearance of the sky?"
Yes definitely. Red sky at night and all that. Jolly good, thank you.
justem, what you are saying is fair enough, but these people are already religious so there is no religious conversion involved, merely turning up to a different place of work from one day to the next because of TUPE or some changes in your employment Ts & Cs.

Vulcan, thankyou, I was racking my brains trying to think of that damned Frenchy's name. I can only assume that goodlife is the 'seagull' to god's 'trawler'. The sardines presumably are the bait (heavenly rewards)that attract the seagulls. There may be another explanation but I don't think goodlife's literary ability is up to conveying it.

Good question and I've had a think.
1) It pleases me to be a bit mischievous
2) I hope one day that he may react and use his own words instead of scripture.
But the main one would be
3) I'm fascinated by his use of language. He strings together sentences that,when read without thinking too much, sounds like English but when you analyse the words the sentence is gobbledegook.
It's an extraordinary talent IMO.

Ludwig, …. from Goodlife…..//but you lot can see the seagull. //
//I guess it's some kind of wierd euphemism like 'your flag's flying at half mast'.//
Right, My flag is flying at half mast. I see. Now I know. Thank you. ;o)

The adverse effects of the psychology of religion. A fascinating study – and an exceptional example.

I've got a lot of time for the Roman Catholic Church. Any church that would marry me, a divorcee, and my wife, also a divorcee, because she was a Catholic and the Church didn't regard either of us as ever having been married, provided I converted first, or one that refused to bury my sister-in-law, a suicide, in consecrated ground until my father- in- law, a very wealthy, devout Catholic offered them an inducement (which he told me was a substantial sum) whereupon the Church superiors suddenly found a way to do it, gets my vote for its sheer flexibility !
And, of course, priestly converts may join to try to put an end to the unfortunate practices which have so blighted the Church of late !

Naomi, well,perhaps too subtle :) What amused me was that I had been previously married in a cathedral. I would have thought that you couldn't get more officially married than that, but the cathedral was Anglican. The Roman Catholic church decided that, as far as they were concerned, that wasn't a marriage. And they made that decision without me offering any money !
Yes,naomi. I can't remember why the Church didn't think my wife had been married. I think it may have been that she'd been married in a Registry Office, not in the sight of any God, let alone a Roman Catholic one. Of course, it could have been that her last husband was a homosexual, unbeknown to her of course, who invited his boyfriend to share the house within a week of the marriage! She promptly left. Now, that's the kind of thing which even the Anglicans might have regarded as a bit off. Unfortunately, I don't think she was called upon to make the priest faint by divulging this News of the World headline in the making!
