For some reason, evangelicals and/or fundamentalists (among others) consider it quite a feather in their caps to "convert" Catholics. Some even make it their primary mission, and there are any number of web sites quite seriously dedicated to just that.
But is it honest to take advantage of the average Catholic's inability to *articulate* their faith as well as a "Bible Christian", play on their emotions, and employ the same marketing techniques one would use to sell widgets?
That's exactly what is done. Whole seminars are given on techniques for "witnessing" to Catholics -- lifted straight from sales and marketing, and given a Biblical twist. My former denomination even had "campaigns" for bringing in new converts, and nabbing a Catholic got high-fives.
Does the end justify the means? Or is it just easier to sell someone on a different version of Christianity than to evangelize those who have never heard the Gospel at all?
