A TR blog made an interesting comment about Roman Catholic apologetics. In short, this writer said that “Catholic Apologetics” these days is really “Protestant- usually evangelical- Convert Apologetics.” You rarely read or hear from an RC apologist these days who is a cradle Catholic talking to interested Protestants. Instead, it’s converts working over their past theological home, with the obvious psychological edge of needing to show how really right they are in their decision to convert.

I think this is true, and explains why the entire tone of most RC apologists is sometimes incredibly unhelpful to me.
