They're proselytizing again...

You know what that means, right? I went to Dictionary.com and got the proper definition:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
American Heritage Dictionary
pros·e·ly·tize (pr s -l -t z) Pronunciation Key

v. pros·e·ly·tized, pros·e·ly·tiz·ing, pros·e·ly·tiz·es

v. intr.

To induce someone to convert to one's own religious faith.

To induce someone to join one's own political party or to espouse one's doctrine.
v. tr.

To convert (a person) from one belief, doctrine, cause, or faith to another.

The "American Success Institute" is looking for Catholics, former Catholics, and those interested in the Catholic Church to listen to the first few minutes of the first Catholic Show podcast to help them you understand the mission of the Catholic Show. That mission? To invite former Catholics back to the church.

According to the website, "There is no higher standard or motive more powerful than to be Catholic."

I'm a firm believer in the idea that no one religion is right for everyone, myself. I've always felt that as long as your beliefs make you happy, and you are not hurting anyone else, then you are free to believe in who or what you will - even if that is the Great Spaghetti Monster. (don't ask lol) I suppose that means that everyone is also entitled to proselytize themselves to others.
