“The people will soon get hold of declarations like these and they’ll prefer to become evangelicals or even Muslims than remain Catholic!”
Money sentence!
It would be so, so, so tragic if people became evangelicals!!! That’s equivalent to becoming a Muslim!
Notice that he said “...evangelicals or EVEN Muslims.”
So he DIDN’T equate the two.
Besides, if a Catholic priest thinks it’s a negative thing for Catholics to become Protestant, you’re OFFENDED???
Now THAT’S acting like a Muslim.
