Wonderful Refutation ????? Excuse me while I laugh .... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hah!!!

Firstly "hey, I wrote this and it's in my upcoming book therefore it must be true" .... does not mean your figures are any more worthy of belief than anyone elses.

Secondly, your definition of a protestant is very different from a Catholic definition. There is ONE True Church .... If you are not a Roman Catholic, and still profess to be a Christian, then you are in protest against The True Church and are a protestant.

So how many of them there "religions" are there?? Oh, sorry it's not 25,000 but actually 22,748?? I see ... that totally disproves the point that if something about your religion doesn't suit you, just change it and start your own protestant religion. 275 new "religions" a year??? Some protestant religions that ordain clergy by e-mail as long as you send your $25 in??? Mainstream protestant clergy that refuse to vote against abortion??? Ordain openly Homosexual ministers??? I don't know how you guys can take yourselves seriously!!! Ha ha ha ha ha

Excuse me while I laugh

No, you're confused. The derision and ridicule of Protestants is on the "Where Have all the FR Protestants Gone?" thread.

You're forgiven.

LOL. So in other words, in order to 'boost' their 'apologetics,' Catholics will define the term 'Protestant' to best suit their purposes.

By the way. . .

"Mainstream protestant clergy that refuse to vote against abortion??? Ordain openly Homosexual ministers???"

A member of a church that has covered up pedophilia for years should be a bit more careful throwing stones.
