We may well know people who are professing Roman Catholics. They may be friends, colleagues, family members, neighbours.
They may be practicing or just nominal. They may be disconnected from their church or serious about their loyalty to it. They may be interested in starting a ‘spiritual’ conversation or indifferent towards religious things. They may be consistent with what they profess to believe or have their own ‘fruit salad’ type of belief system where elements of Roman Catholicism are combined with Eastern religions or secular practices. That is to say that Roman Catholics can be very different people. How can we communicate the gospel to them?
Lessons I’ve learned
Here are two tips (with two more coming in my next article) which could be of some help in engaging Roman Catholics with the gospel. They are neither a four-step process nor a recipe for success. Rather, they are lessons that I have learned over the years in sharing the gospel with Roman Catholics.
