As "a former Lutheran pastor transitioning to the Roman Catholic Church," Russell Saltzman doesn't have to worry about how stepping on toes might threaten his livelihood anymore, as is displayed by his "Advice to Inactive Christians." He says what every pastor would like to say to the person who hasn't attended services in years and suggests that he might start again if only the pastor and Church would accomodate some personal preference. I'm tempted to quote the whole thing, but as that would be pointless, let this give you reason to go read it yourself:

There is a singularly arrogant message in these sorts of gesturing declarations. The inactive member is saying he or she sets the terms of his or her return and it all depends on likability. [Raul] Castro framed it well: “If the pope continues this way.” Inactive members expect, as G.K. Chesterton remarked, that “Christians must embrace every creed except their own.”
