“With authority as their common thread, these convictions constitute the particular reasons why individuals eventually departed from their Catholic backgrounds: 1. Every believer is called to full-time ministry. 2. Relationship with Christ must take precedence over rules-keeping. 3. We enjoy direct access to God in Christ. 4. There is only one proper object of devotion — Jesus the Savior. 5. God’s children should be motivated by grace instead of guilt.”
