The problem is not necessarily that the Catholic church is becoming Protestant. The problem is that the Catholic church is becoming Neo-pagan, like the leftist versions of Protestant denominations.

If the Catholic church were to, for example, become like the Lutheran Church-Missuri Synod, it would lose some of its teachings, but not those that are necessary for salvation. But the Vatican isn’t doing that; instead, it is following the path of the Evangelical (non)Lutheran Church in America, which has lost all of the teachings necessary for salvation, plus filling itself with neopagan heresies.

In short, if you’re going to become Protestant, at least become the right kind of Protestant. If you’re going to stay Catholic, at least keep the doctrines necessary for salvation, and throw into the lake of fire the neopagan heresies that have destroyed the faith.

I always say about Vatican II, “If they decided to borrow from Protestantism, why did they only take the bad stuff?”

Being RC and $5 will get you a cup of coffee.

Being P and $5 will get you a cup of coffee and a glass of water.

"at least keep the doctrines necessary for salvation".

Yea, Ephesians 2:8-9.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.

works=sacraments

I think you missed the whole point.
I agree with what you say, but do you think the Freemasons, guided by Satan, are satisfied to do what you wrote???
Satan wants to bring down the One True Church down to the level of hell. In the next few years he will almost succeed because there are so few who pray and live ALL the Ten Commandments.
A highly approved apparition to Don Stefano Gobbi told us:

Regarding this period of great crisis, Our Lady revealed to Don Stefano Gobbi: “My Adversary will one day think that he is celebrating a complete victory: over the world, over the Church, over souls. It will be only then that I will intervene – terrible and victorious – that his defeat may be all the greater when he is certain in his conviction that he has conquered once for all. What is in preparation is so extraordinary that its like has never happened since the creation of the world. That is why everything has already been predicted in the Bible. The terrible struggle between me, the Woman Clothed with the Sun, and “the Red Dragon”, Satan, who has now succeeded in seducing many souls…” (October 18, 1975; http://our-lady-priests.blogspot.it/).

This message is referring to Genesis 3:15, and Revelation chapter 12!
