Are Catholics chicken?

Are Catholics chicken or something?  That is the question is the question that came to mind after Jimmy Akin had a conversation with an evangelical Christian who approached him as he was getting into his truck.

“I couldn’t help admiring about the gentleman the fact that he was bold enough to go up to a total stranger and start talking about sensitive personal things like whether the stranger has a properly configured relationship with God.”

Why do Catholics rarely work up the courage to approach a total stranger with the message of Jesus? Are Catholics chicken or something? Are they afraid?

He concludes, “Of course they are. Evangelicals are, too! You have to screw up your nerve to do this kind of thing. That’s only human!”

Yet Evangelicals do it and Catholics—for the most part—don’t.

Why is that?
