I'll take the pope's version any day over the fine evangelical bible interpreters such as Benny Hinn, Oral Roberts, Pat Robertson, Robert Tilton, Jimmy Sweigart, the buffoon in the glass palace, Jim Baker, the harsh looking & sounding lady form Texas, and the other assorted TV personalities who equate one's blessings with how shiny your Rolex is.

Are you saying that because I am a Protestant, I get my divine inspiration for those guys?

No,
I'm pointing out that just because one calls or thinks of himself as "evangelical" does not necessarily merit praise. There are many charlatans, including the local "super church" pastor in my neighborhood, whose matching BMW's and armani suits should give the idiots in his church pause. But alas, they keep giving to this guy so they can attain salvation.

Of course, there are many true evangelicals, who have much more in common with Traditional Catholicism than with the "God wants you to be rich" crowd.
