I just presented a seminar at my parents' home church (Protestant). I was talking about different types of prayer than the congregants were used to. Then a woman spoke up, saying, "This sounds awfully Catholic to me" or something to that effect. After that, the seminar took a turn for the worse only I had the support of the pastor (who recognizes all sects of Christianity) so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.
Before I went in, I knew that I was speaking on a topic that had very distinct Catholic elements but I knew it was the right message to give this particular church. My roommate (Roman Catholic) and I constantly defend ourselves at this seminary where the general view is that non-Protestants are "misled." *SMH*
