High-Profile Conversion to Catholicism

by

Dr. Francis Beckwith, the President of the Evangelical Theological Society, has reverted to his childhood faith – Catholicism. Read his testimonial here. Dr. Beckwith continues to be a tenured professor of philosophy at Baylor University.

The worst thing so far are the comments lamenting Dr. Beckwith’s “abandonment of the true Protestant Gospel.” Take this one for example:

Seems like Dr. Beckwith followed the teachings and beliefs of some early church fathers, instead of trusting in the truths found in God’s Word. Kind of sad, but nothing new. The gospel of grace only satisfies those saved by it. All others spend a lifetime trying to achieve it. That’s just the way it is. I’ll pray the Lord does for Dr. Beckwith what He’s done for me.

Gee Brian, if “all others spend a lifetime trying to achieve it,” then I guess Catholic Christians are in good company with St. Paul:

“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.” (Philippians 3:12)
