Actually....I did a quick Google search to come up with the pic of the bumper sticker. :-)

I agree with your sentiments regarding the necessity of the Catholic church having someone at the helm (like Pope Benedict) during these times. So many of the other Christian denominations (that originally split from Catholicism years ago) have become "inclusive" -- and it is precisely that fact that is leading people of other faiths BACK to the Catholic Church, where moral and social issues ARE in "black and white" and NOT "shades of grey".

Yes. The more liberal mainstream protestant denominations are exactly that. “Inclusive” to the point of banality and “shades of grey” as you say.

But that is not where I am. In terms of moral and social issues, Conservative Evangelicals have more in common with Traditional Catholicism than with the current liberal Protestant establishment.

Actually, I don’t even consider myself a “Protestant” at all. More like what CS Lewis would call a “Mere Christian”. :-)

FReegards, FRiend!
