The real story is that truly conservative Roman Catholics are becoming Protestants. For every one Protestant in the U.S. who leaves his faith, four Roman Catholics leave theirs. And considering Protestants outnumber Roman Catholics by more than two to one, that is an astounding percentage of RCs leaving Rome for the truth of the Gospel.

I'll bet that you cannot name five truly conservative Roman Catholics who are becoming Protestants. Real people that is, not the fantasies that began with the Reformation and continue to this day.

Now that Catholics are established by several recent polls to be at the highest percentage of the American population they have ever been in the country's history and ever increasing, and the numbers of Protestants (at least the ones who believe in the Christian God) are declining at an even greater rate, when will you be changing your unsupported tune?

As for the Gospel, we Christians continue to follow the Gospel of Jesus; not a made up fantasy which puts the Gospel of Jesus for the Jews only, and snippets of Paul and Isaiah make up a doctrine that would be laughingly silly if it weren't so tragic.

Mark, easily proven errors make for lousy evidence.

CATHOLIC TRADITION FADING IN U.S.

"Evangelical Christianity has become the largest religious tradition in this country, supplanting Roman Catholicism, which is slowly bleeding members, according to a survey released yesterday by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.

Evangelical Protestants outnumber Catholics by 26.3 percent (59 million) to 24 percent (54 million) of the population, according to the U.S. Religious Landscape Survey, a massive 45-question poll conducted last summer of more than 35,000 American adults...

The U.S. is over 50% Protestant and 24% Roman Catholic. Without the huge influx of immigrants from Mexico and South/Central America, Rome's membership numbers would be falling even more precipitously.
