It is a good article, though I think its a bit too sweeping. There are many kinds of protestants (and indeed catholics too) and many, many strands of theological thinking. My reading of the situation is that there is a “coming together” of denominations, in the sense that we are much more appreciative of each others experience. I’m a Baptist by choice, but I’ve learned an awful lot from Catholics over the past few years. I’ve realised why they believe what they believe, and what that means, and personally, thats been a very enriching experience.

Good fences make good neighbors. Only when we understand what truly separates us will we be able to work together with Protestants for the salvation of our society and the ultimate unity of Christ's Church.

Agreed. Protestants place the emphasis on the Bible that defines the church. Catholics emphasize the Church that defines the Bible.
