A church that performs same-sex “marriage” isn’t even Christian, fr_freak, let alone Protestant, no matter what husk of a building they’re occupying, or what name they claim.

Your Magisterium doesn’t seem especially effective with the “do whatever they want” crowd, either.

I agree with you completely on this. Unfortunately, those "churches" are still claiming to be Christian. Hopefully, all actual Christians in their congregations have wised up and left by now.

Well, considering that the Magisterium doesn't send armed troops to force people to follow teachings (lately, anyway), if people choose to ignore the doctrine, there isn't a lot they can do. But the advantage that the Catholic Church has is that they can point to the set teachings and say that this is what you all should be following. Protestants have no such delineated beliefs, which leaves people vulnerable to multiple interpretations from congregation to congregation and minister to minister. As a result, an Episcopal church can claim to be following scripture and all the members can do is leave, whereas any Catholic local church which attempted to endorse homosexuality would have its clergy disciplined, either by removal, excommunication or whatever.

So why are persons who sleep around, do drugs, have abortions, etc., still considered "Catholics," despite the fact that their faith is only a husk of a real Catholic faith?

Because it's polemically convenient for Protestants to do so?

Because the Catholic church keeps her doors open to them and invites them back? (Shame on us for being eager to go after the lost sheep.)
