Welcome to Mortification of Spin, the casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman, Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird.

Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.

Let's join this week's conversation. Welcome to Mordification of Spin.

My name's Carl Truman, professor at Grove City College in western Pennsylvania, and I'm

here without one of my usual co-hosts, Todd Pruitt, who is off recording his sermon because we're living

in plague times and he's recording his sermons a day in advance to make sure there are no

technical glitches on the Lord's Day. But I am joined as always by my friend, co-host, Amy Bird, the housewife, Theologian. And we want to

address a question today that I think came to you from a listener, Amy. Is that correct?

Yeah, so I get questions email to me now and then. Sometimes we find some that we can lump together.

And this one is a topic that we have touched on some,

but she gives it a little nuance in the question.

So basically she had come from a fundamentalist Baptist culture

to the Reformed Church.

He's really enjoying what she's been learning,

but was shocked because in the last year, both a ruling

elder and an associate pastor have both converted to Roman Catholicism. And she was surprised by this

because she's never seen this before in the Baptist church, the culture that she was in. So she was

asking, you know, does this seem to occur more in the reform church? She

asked around a little bit, and there were others she was learning about. And so her question is,

is there something about being reformed that lends itself to an easy conversion to Roman Catholicism?

Which I think is a good question for us to talk at.

Yeah, it's definitely a good question.
