When Rome lifts the anathemas against all Protestants maybe Rome will have some credibility.

In a free society, the Church, as does any religion, including Protestant churches, has the right to say what it believes and what it does not believe. It has the right to tell Protestants where their beliefs are wrong, just as Protestants have the (civil) to say where the Catholic Church is wrong. I don’t see the problem here.

The Church is not going to pretend false teachings aren't false.

Indeed. "We unreformable!"

These days the tactic seems to be, appearing to agreeing with Protestants in ecumenical documents while very carefully saying nothing that contradicts holy mother church. Slumbering ecumenical minded protestants lap it up.

When you learn what anathema means perhaps you will have some credibility.
