Evangelicals are often equated with fundamentalists or the religious right, which annoys Warren. Although he's politically conservative - opposing abortion and gay marriage and supporting the death penalty - he pushes a much broader agenda and disdains both politics and fundamentalism....Warren predicts that fundamentalism, of all varieties, will be "one of the big enemies of the 21st century."
-- from the The purpose-driven pastor (Rick Warren calls Christian fundamentalists an enemy)"The evangelical movement has been confused with both the religious right and fundamentalism, which it is not. I'm not a fundamentalist, and I'm not part of the religious right."

The truth for all those who are tempted to swim the Tiber (covert to Rome) is that there is no Rome Sweet Home. There are as many Romes as there are converts. The ex-evangelical converts have their version of Rome. The liberals have their version of Rome. Its a Babylon of competing visions only apparently unified. All one need to do is read Darryl Harts running commentary on contemporary Romanism to know how deeply divided Romanists really are.
....If the Roman Catholic apologist wants...to cite 8,196 idiosyncrasies within Protestantism, then he must be willing to compare that figure to at least 2,942 (perhaps upwards of 8,000 these days) idiosyncrasies within Roman Catholicism. In any case, he cannot compare the one ecclesial tradition of Roman Catholicism to 25,000, 8,196, or even twenty-one Protestant denominations; for Barrett places Roman Catholicism (as a single ecclesial tradition) on the same level as Protestantism (as a single ecclesial tradition)....

There is only ONE Catechism of the Catholic Church. There is only one Magisterium of the Catholic Church. How many Catechisms of the Protestant “Church” do we have? Answer: Each person is their own little catechism and megisterium and authority on right and wrong. That’s why the Catholic Church after 2,000 years is still far and way the biggest Christian faith on the planet.
