I do not understand why one RC criticizes or judges another RC as being cradle RCs versus creedo RCs. It always seems like the judging RCs are overzealous converts who are tired of justifying to their former relatives who are still Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, etc. why their fellow new family members, cradle RCs, are living an unexamined life. Perhaps the cradle RCs know something the creedo RCs don’t know. There is much to be said for experiential knowledge or perhaps the lack of experiential knowledge.
