\"\"<\/p>\n

I was very happy as an evangelical Protestant<\/a>. I underwent a conversion to Christ in 1977<\/a> after being very nominal in my Methodist faith<\/a> as a child and young teenager. I was an apologist on college campuses in the late 80s and had done a lot of street evangelism also. In the late 80s I became involved in Operation Rescue, where we would block the doors of abortion clinics in order to save the lives of babies about to be killed.<\/p>\n

In that movement I met many committed, serious Catholics (I never really had, before), and I was most curious about the Catholic prohibition of contraception. I didn\u2019t get that. I wasn\u2019t anti-Catholic, but I thought evangelicalism was sort of the cream of the crop of Christianity, and Catholicism had some things wrong.<\/p>\n

In early 1990 I began ecumenical discussions in my home and invited two Catholics I had met. I also met Servant of God Fr. John Hardon, S. J.<\/a> (a major Catholic author and catechist, and saintly man \u2014 canonization), and attended his informal catechetical meetings at the University of Detroit.<\/p>\n

After lengthy discussions, I became convinced on the contraception issue<\/a> (after learning that the Anglicans were the first Christians to change the prohibition, in 1930). I thought Catholicism had the best moral theology of any Christian group.<\/p>\n

But my big objection was infallibility<\/a>, so I fought about that tooth and nail (citing liberal dissidents like Hans K\u00fcng and Joseph D\u00f6llinger). My friend suggested Cardinal Newman\u2019s Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine<\/em><\/a> and that pulverized all my objections.<\/p>\n

It was his Essay on Development<\/em> that explained to me how the Catholic Church could be infallible when it taught binding doctrine. Because I loved history, as Newman did, when I read that, it explained in a brilliant way how one could go from the simplicity of the early Church to the complexity of Catholic doctrine as it is today.<\/p>\n

The doctrines developed. That was the key to my conversion, because it explained the history of doctrine in a way that was perfectly plausible, and also demonstrated the infallibility of the Church throughout history.<\/p>\n

I also studied the Protestant Revolt<\/a> (or what\u2019s called the \u201cReformation\u201d) from a Catholic perspective<\/a>, for the first time. So it was moral theology and history of doctrine that were the main causes.<\/p>\n

By October 1990 and many discussions and books read, I was convinced that Catholicism was the fullness of the Christian faith: the Church. [see my conversion story from Surprised by Truth<\/em> <\/a>and a lengthier, more technical published version<\/a>, emphasizing development]<\/p>\n

For many other treatments of my conversion, see my web page:\u00a0Conversion and Converts (Catholic)<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
