True. We see it here all the time.
“This is a shame because a vibrant, evangelical, orthodox Protestant Christianity is essential to the survival of Western Civilization.”
I’m not so sure about that. I know plenty of fine Protestants who are wonderful, Christ loving people. Yet, I don’t doubt for a second that the West would have been better off united in Christ’s Church and faith rather than fragmented in 30,000 sects.
I too think the division of Christianity is a sorrowful thing. But it is a reality and for that reason I support Non Catholic Christians with whom we share certain doctrines.
