"Thank you so much for posting facts for us to talk about."
LOL, now we know. Politics is the real religion and all else is simply window dressing. The real issue and the real fact is that whenever people fall hard for the lifestyle the American media sells Protestantism grows because Protestantism preaches not the Bible or the Word of God, but the heresy of, "I'm OK, You're OK". The heresy of Core expanded to include an emphasis on the lie that no matter what sort of hedonism and even murder the Protestant crowd thrives on, it's all OK.
I guess when it's a fact that a given country has always been seventy percent or more Protestant and the majority of the people in that country clearly live immoral lives, Protestants have to focus on politics or anything but living a Christian life in order to keep on pretending they're teaching Christianity. It also helps to beat up on the Catholics in an attempt to obscure the fact that the Catholic Church still stands for Christian morality and always has. Sure, a lot of Catholics in a predominately Protestant country drift away in order to join in on the hedonism. That proves that sheep are easily led and want to avoid feeling guilty while joining the party, not that the sheep hear the voice of the true Shepherd.
Focus on anything but the facts and pretend you're "back to the facts" when you toss out one smoke screen after another. Otherwise people might notice the obvious fact that at least this Protestant society has not become increasingly moral but in fact become increasingly immoral while at the same time Protestants brag about the spread of their beliefs. Well, the beliefs spread and immorality spreads in lock step. That's the fact, not the politics and numbers people want to pretend are somehow part of Christian teaching when they're not even a reflection of true Christian teaching.
Protestants have wriggled from one absurd set of distortions to the next, doctrinal breakthroughs, and new sets of catchy phrases, for over fifty years now trying to make excuses for the growing immorality in the face of there efforts. The only thing that will stop the rot is realizing that once people abandon Christianity as embodied in The One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Jesus Christ Himself founded they're no longer Christian but are in fact collections of individuals groping their way through the darkness. A few, a very few, will find a sufficient portion of Christianity to be spared. The overwhelming majority are on the broad and smooth highway that leads to destruction.
have a nice day
It’s always amusing to be lectured by Catholics with respect to morals, especially in regard to accusations hurled at the clergy.
