Pastor Billy says: I'm a cradle Catholic who has rediscovered his Christian faith without leaving Catholicism.
My name however is a parody of poorly trained Protestant preachers who are led to believe they are "called to ministry" before receiving adequate training and education. (I have to add even this sometimes does little to change their hearts)
I believe as the ancient Christians do and accept the words of Augustine when asked where do you find the Christian people?
"[T]here are many other things which most properly can keep me in [the Catholic Church’s] bosom. The unanimity of peoples and nations keeps me here. Her authority, inaugurated in miracles, nourished by hope, augmented by love, and confirmed by her age, keeps me here. The succession of priests, from the very see of the apostle Peter, to whom the Lord, after his resurrection, gave the charge of feeding his sheep [John 21:15–17], up to the present episcopate, keeps me here. And last, the very name Catholic, which, not without reason, belongs to this Church alone, in the face of so many heretics, so much so that, although all heretics want to be called ‘Catholic,’ when a stranger enquires where the Catholic Church meets, none of the heretics would dare to point out his own basilica or house" (Against the Letter of Mani Called "The Foundation" 4:5 [A.D. 397]).
