***Why I Am Not a Roman Catholic***

“I am Italian, but I am not Roman Catholic.” This statement often surprises people who think being Italian is associated with being Roman Catholic. I was raised in a Roman Catholic environment, but I am not a Roman Catholic and for some good reasons. There might be people who, in majority Roman Catholic contexts, ask the same question to evangelicals: “Why aren’t you Roman Catholic?” What would you say in response? Furthermore, there might be people who may be tempted to become Roman Catholic and ask the question themselves: “Why shouldn’t I be Roman Catholic?” In this Masterclass, I will give five reasons why I am not Roman Catholic.

Leonardo De Chirico is the pastor of Breccia di Roma, a church that he helped plant in Rome in 2009, and Vice Chairman of the Italian Evangelical Alliance. Previously, Leonardo planted and pastored an evangelical church in Ferrara, Italy from 1997 to 2009. He earned degrees in history (University of Bologna), theology (ETCW, Bridgend, Wales) and bioethics (University of Padova).
