Many conservative evangelicals would consider the question this article poses as the pursuit of fool’s gold. There simply cannot be such a thing as an "evangelical Roman Catholic." The two are mutually exclusive, at least in theory. No true Catholic can be a true evangelical and no true evangelical, could ever become a true Roman Catholic. I would have numbered myself among those who believe this way about ten to fifteen years ago. I have changed my thinking, and this has caused considerable interest and opposition. I want to explain, in a rather succinct way, why I believe that there are evangelicals who are Roman Catholics and why I think this question matters. I can still hope more and more evangelicals will agree with me...

Great article. Evangelical could also refer to those who in some way embrace the counsels that Christ preaches in the Gospels.
