For some people the 17th Century has yet to end.

Reformed blogger David Meyer's announcement that he intends to convert to Catholicism has generated the usual time-tunnel trip to Calvin's Geneva.  One Reformed blogger calls him "apostate" and another accuses Meyer of not adequately writing a tome justifying every bit of historical argument he thinks he can toss out.  James White - previously seen advising that true Christians should relish the thought of such apostates roasting in Hell for the glory of God - almost irenically chides Meyer for fallibly making a decision in favor of an infallible authority, as opposed to fallibly making a decision for a self-acknowledged fallible authority in the form of whichever Presbyterian denomination Meyer had previously acknowledged.

Meyer is taking on all-comers at his blog - adverse Horn, adverse Joel Martin,  adverse Andrew McCallum,

I was mentioning to a friend that my experience of Protestants who convert to Catholicism is that they are usually very knowledgeable about their faith and usually say very nice things about their former tradition.  This contrasts with the very unhappy and not so knowledgeable people moving the other way.  Of course, the latter outnumber the former about 10 to 1, which makes for an interesting dynamic.

In any event, many of the discussions breaking out in the comments are interesting and worth reading.

Best wishes to Meyer and his family.
