I’m not implying that the Roman Church is *not* part of Christendom. I guess I get a bit defensive when someone implies that “my church is better than your church.” I see that sentiment a bit too much among Roman Catholics on FR. “He’s great! He sounds so ... Catholic!”

Ah, well.

It wasn't meant in any way to imply that one is better than the other (we all have our own opinion and I've never seen anyone change their mind on here). However, I think that most of us will agree that people from certain backgrounds will "sound" different; a Baptist minister and a Catholic priest could probably both give sermons on the same Scripture reading and deliver the same general message, but their style and delivery would usually be much different. This certainly doesn't mean that one is better than the other or more effective, it's just different.

For what it's worth, I wish that there were Catholic leaders in America as eloquent, focused and unflappable as Dr. Mohler.
