**I thought that the pope was the Antichrist, and that the Catholic Church was the “whore of Babylon.”**
Regardless of their many doctrinal disagreements that is the one thing that ALL protestants have in common!
Wrong!
You're wrong.
Actually, most Protestants I have known do NOT think the Pope is the anti-Christ and the Church the “whore of Babylon.”
As a convert to Catholicism, I have many years behind me full of Protestant Bible study, and truth be told, not once was the Catholic Church discussed in anything but a respectful manner.
Sometimes Catholics have misconceptions about Protestants, just like sometimes Protestants misunderstand Catholics.
You have made a broad and sweeping generalization about all Protestants that doesn’t appear to be logical. While in the past many did believe that of what you claim, and some may still do, it’s a major stretch to argue that we all think that way.
I have been impressed with the quality of the posts of many of your fellow Catholics and what seems to me to be a genuine individual and collective Christian witness. They set a good example for you to follow.
Where do you get these ideas? From a few Internet sites? There are always folks who will say such things, but do you honestly believe ALL Protestants go around calling the Pope the Antichrist? Expressing a disagreement with Catholic theology is not the same as calling Catholics members of the "whore of Babylon."
