How to evangelize people away from the Catholic Church

Martina at CatholicSistas has a great list of how to evangelize people away from the Catholic Church.   (H/t  Big Blue Wave)  Here's an example.  I can find myself (shudder) in some of her examples.   And I pray that, once I am Catholic, I am never like this:

Ah, yes. Evangelizing people away from the Church. 

So, here are a few things you’ll want to be aware of when you drive people from the Faith.

1) Focus on being right. Do you remember when Dr. Phil used to be um…a doctor? And he had that nifty t.v. show? When he addressed conflict resolution, he would often say “you can be right or you can be happy.” He called those who focused on being right “right fighters.” Now, let’s not give too much weight to “happy” because that’s irrelevant within a Catholic framework. The real question for Catholics would be, “do you want to be right or do you want to show Jesus to others?” Sometimes when we focus only on being right, we forget even our most basic manners. We are tempted to go tit for tat with others because we KNOW we are right and they are dun-dun-dun!!! WRONG!!!!

• Here’s why it can turn people off –  Focusing on proving Catholicism right with the wrong intent can be a real turnoff for most people. Think of the hard sell approach of a used car salesman {I’ll help you with this visual – are you feeling a “bada bing bada boom” come on? ::shudder::} People don’t want to feel as though they are being sold the clear spiritual undercoating if they listen to you.
