Why I abandoned Papism.
By Hierodeacon Paul Ballester-Convolier.
A horrible dilemma.
My conversion to
Orthodoxy began one day while I was reordering the Library catalogues of
the monastery I belong to. This monastery belonged to the Franciscan
order, founded in my country of Spain. While I was classifying different
old articles concerning the Holy Inquisition, I happened to come across
an article that was truly impressive, dating back to 1647. This article
described a decision of the Holy Inquisition that anathematized as
heretic any Christian who dared believe, accept or preach to others that
he supported the apostolic validity of the Apostle Paul.
