The Catholic Church in its practice has become more and more Protestant and the Protestants haven’t budged an inch.

Tell me about it. The last NO Mass I attended, in English, that is, was the Catholic version of Dr. Schuller's Hour of Power, complete with silky white robe for the 'pastoral associate.'

"Catholic version of Dr. Schuller's Hour of Power"
LOL!

I recently had to sing for a Catholic-Lutheran ecumenical service. Our priest and bishop were the hosts. There was not so much as a sign of the cross made in order not to offend the Protestants. Yet, when a Lutheran bishop made a statement challenging our beliefs about the Eucharist, our priest and bishop sat there like bumps. It's the last ecumenical service I will attend.
