==So if I am on the side of evil in this “spiritual war” and my position is indistinguishable from that of the Pope and most other Catholics; do you also consider the Pope to be on the side of evil in this spiritual war?

I have never examined the Pope’s position with respect to the takeover of science by the forces of philosophical materialism. And as a protestant, I don’t look up to the Pope as my spiritual leader. I admire his stand on many political issues (especially with respect to life), but in the end I consider him fallible, just like any other man.

Theologically, the big difference in philosophy between Catholics and Protestants is the “baseline” of Truth.

Catholics consider the Catholic Church itself to be the baseline of truth, and anything differing from RCC doctrine is heresy.

Evangelical Protestants consider the Scriptures to be the baseline of truth.

On the subject of creationism and evolution...
“They are presented as alternatives that exclude each other,” the pope said. “This clash is an absurdity because on one hand there is much scientific proof in favor of evolution, which appears as a reality that we must see and which enriches our understanding of life and being as such.”
Pope Benedict XVI

Now you have no excuse for your ignorance. Now answer my question. Do you feel that in this “spiritual war” that the Pope is on the side of evil?
