I'm Protestant too and I'm with you on the five solas. I'd also add that this example of the commie pope is educational to the true value of sola scriptura.

I'm just saying that at least for now, the traditional Catholics are our allies in the culture war. It's not Catholics who are making it hard to be Christian in the U.S. -- it's the worldly people and the "mainline" Protestants. It's not Protestants who are telling Catholics to let the Chicoms pick their bishops in China -- it's the commie pope. It's not the Catholics who are trying to force Christians to participate in other people's abortions and gay "marriage", it's the atheists and the "mainline" Protestants.

IMHO this is a time when the devout Christians of both Protestant and Catholic to unite against the blatantly worldly people and the worldly people infiltrating our churches (the Vatican and the "mainline" Protestant leaders).

Actually it is the majority of Catholics which are liberal and vote that way, versus TradCaths, while "mainline" Protestants usually are those closest to Catholicism, while TradCaths count us as their primary theological enemies in the West (and the feeling is much mutual). And while they (as well as the Mormons, etc.) are allies in fighting for traditional values, the dream for many of them is not for a Constitutional Republic reflective of Christian values, liberties and limits, nor for the 1,000 reign of Christ (which Catholicism does not believe in) but the establishment of a Catholic monarch under which we would be censored, or worse.
