Technically I'm Anglo-Catholic.  But the Reformation was going to happen whether a G*rman was responsible or not.

I apologize if I caused any offense; the combo of NC, religious, and just...everything else I know about you gave me the impression you were a Baptist.

oh dear

No, but the chances of me becoming a Baptist are roughly the same of me becoming a Roman Catholic: zero.

Do you know of any Roman Catholics or Baptists in your immediate family?

My mother's side is basically all Roman Catholic except for my atheist cousins.  My dad's side (whom I no longer communicate with for... reasons) are very WASP-y mainline Protestants.

What is i that keeps you from being Baptist.  Not all Baptists are fundamentalist loonies, so is it the fundamentalism that is now de rigeur for Southern Baptists, the concept of needing to be an "adult" to be baptized, or some other factor.

Baptists are too conservative and too low-church, which is a bad combo for me.  Also, I don't agree with their views on the Eucharist, Purgatory, or forbiddance of prayer to the saints.

I would sooner join the ABC than the SBC, though.
