By all means, go into the tent meeting and challenge the Protestant "theologian," but before you do, make sure you can quote chapter and verse better than him (or her). Protestants are indeed largely ignorant of history, believing whatever they've been told by the experts of their particular denomination. Why? Because of the same reason most Catholics give, "obedience." It never occurs to Lutherans, for example, that Luther might have been a bad guy, or to Pres-buy-terians that there was a reason John Knox was burned at the stake. Lay-Lutherans don't read Luther; lay-Presbies haven't read Knox. You'll convince no one by refuting writings of which they've heard about small portions. If you study the Bible only, and have been raised in a sect, you can interpret it in only one manner. Don't get mad and resort to name-calling. No Protestant was ever converted that way. Pray to the Holy Ghost to take the spiritual blinders off their hearts and minds. And again, make certain you can out-quote the "evangelist" or you'll only end up strengthening him/her in heresy. Most Catholic lay-folk are not intimately familiar with the Bible as an entire Book, hence Protestants dismiss them and the Catholic Faith as superstition for the blind, ignorant populace. (See now, what is so dangerous about "Pray, Pay, Obey"?)
