As a Protestant I wish the anti-Catholics here would focus on Protestant churches that embrace gays, gay marriage, and abortion.

Because they are not here incessantly exalting and advertizing themselves as the One True Church® , and also unlike RCs, we are contending for a faith based on Scripture being the supreme authority as the wholly inspired basically literal Word of God, which evangelical view liberal churches effectively deny, and not a particular church as being supreme .

And actually, Catholics testify that they are more like liberal Prots in their moral views than evangelicals, which i basically represent in its historical denotation.

The problem is that let you self identify. If I was to guess I would say that based on years of informal observation half of those that self identify as Catholics are actually catholic in name only. ie Nancy Pelolusy, and Joe Biteme, John “I was in Vietnam” Kerry, and the vast majority of the Kennedy clan.

I agree with that completely.

At the same time it appears that the pope is addressing some of these issues that many protestants have a problem with.

For instance he is preaching against extravagance in the Church its self,:Church leaders living in luxury: living in penthouses or castles and driving limousines.

He seems to choose his words careful, if not he may have his head in a noose before he even gets started. i am not sure i read him right but if i do then i agree with him.

But these same issues are prevalent in the protestant Churches also, rich people do not bother me what so ever but if they get rich suffering for God, that makes me sick.

This has nothing to do with your comment but it is very noticeable to me that almost no one, Catholic or protestant will answer a question about Rev 17.

I guess it is because Rev 17 puts both Catholic and Protestant in the same place.
