Q My teenage son wants to join the Roman Catholic Church. How should I respond? What should my pastor say to this?
A Because the Protestant Reformation was a reaction to various teachings and practices of the Catholic Church, our denominational history has been characterized by an adverse appraisal of that church. Some have even asserted that Catholics are not Christians.
In reality, we have much more theological affinity with the Catholic Church than we do with liberal Protestantism, which denies some of the theological fundamentals mentioned in the Apostles’ Creed. As a result of dialogue with the Catholic Church, our denomination revised Answer 80 of the Heidelberg Catechism, and both churches agreed to recognize and accept each other’s administration of baptism.
