Jimmy obviously isn't Catholic, or he would know Dominus providebit. Or is Jimmy not on good terms with the Lord anymore? Those off brands might not have the same pull upstairs as the old reliables.
Having read most of Jimmy's posts over the years I can address this adequately, I think. First of all, Jimmy's main source of income is in mental health. His locksmithing business is very minimal due to time constraints with mental health therapy work.
Jimmy hasn't served in pastoral ministry in nearly four years. Also, the denominations he has been involved with during his ministerial career--Quakers, Congregationalists, UCC, Presbyterian, and Christian Church-- are far, far from offshoots.

I am sure he appreciates this.

I think the light has always beenf on but Jimmy did post a few times about wanting to enter other fields that definitely required an accredited degree. Obviously he has changed his mind. Let's see what else he posts about all this.
Personally, I have always believed experience is the best educator, not a piece of paper saying one took a bunch of courses that were useless.
