I really don't get the sense that he is trying to be offensive, but as is evidenced by the Catholic/Protestant feuds on FR, Catholics generally misunderstand Protestants as much as Protestants generally misunderstand Catholics. Another difficulty is that the spectrum of Catholic opinion is about as wide as the spectrum of Protestant opinion: from flaccid liberalism to tightly-wound fundamentalism. Good thing for all of us (but maybe not for the liberals) that God never changes and the Bible remains the same.
Well said.
