I never said Catholics weren’t Christians.
What I said was, when a Catholic nation like Ireland, Quebec, or France leaves the Church they have a tendency to leave Christianity altogether, unlike Protestants who are always reinventing their churches.
What you said was, “But when Catholics lose faith in THEIR church, a lot of them cease to be Christian at all. ”
What I’d like to know from you is, How does someone “cease to be a Christian at all”?
