Another factor which is not considered is that it takes 2-3 years for an individual to go through the process of conversion to the Catholic faith (I know this for sure). During this period the incumbent has to go through a rigorous process as the church wants to make very sure that he/she is doing so of his/ her own volition or is coerced by external forces. I am only speaking here as far as the Catholic faith is concerned. About other Christian/Protestant denominations, I have no idea. So all this junk they are talking about Mother Theresa MC’s conversion program is utter hogwash only to discredit and spoil the name of this institution.
