Just knowing that he went Catholic - Protestant - Catholic makes me a bit leery if I'm honest. Like, did he return to Catholicism packing some Protestant 'nuggets' thinking Catholicism could benefit from that stuff?

I never heard he was Catholic before becoming protestant and reverting. I'll have to look it up. I thought him and Hahn were just converts from Protestantism.

I've never heard of Ascension Press, so I don't know how reputable it is, but their website says this in their bio about Cavins:

I hate to say this because it's judgmental on my part, but when he was on ewtn I found him to have a decidedly "Protestant style," if that makes any sense. I always felt like I was watching some baptist youth pastor. The material he taught was good. I think it was just his delivery that bothered me. I remember that occasionally he would sub for Mother Angelica on her show. I turned the tv off when that happened.

Do you say that because he wears a suit?

Yo - i didnt quite leave the church for 7 years - but i was delinquent.
I kinda sorta quit going and sinning for 7 years and then returned.
Sometimes - reverts are very strong in faith... after being pulled back.

I can see the Protestant style too. I'm not sure what to think of him. Interesting how ex-Protestants are now teaching us the Bible. My bible study group is also led by an ex-protestant. Are we seeing a trend of Catholic parishes priotorising the Bible more now? Australia is behind the U.S. on this I admit.

Yeah. "but this time I've really found the truth guys. Believe me!"
What if he went back to being a Protestant pastor? Now that would be a shock.
