I expect the Evangelicals to give in and reinterpret the Bible to match their members' preferences. You neither now the future, nor the denominations you speak of because you do so in general. Which means you do to all denominations. I cannot know the future, that is God's job, not mine nor yours, so I cannot foresee if the Catholic Church will fall in line with the teachings of the Word, or not. So I keep from making such overreaching predictions..

It seems to me having an opinion that "I expect the Evangelicals to give in and reinterpret the Bible to match their members' preferences" falls short of the "You attacked all Evangelicals in your comment" by which you interpreted it. There are many denominations and sects that are tagged Evangelical. Since you won't identify the one(s) on whose behalf you are offended I am left to pick and choose.

Since Evangelical churches are more adaptive to change based on their members' preferences (my premise), they are particularly affected by how the young people view homosexual marraige. A late 2012 Lifeway Research Study showed that 73 percent of "born-again, evangelical, or fundamentalist" Christians believe homosexual conduct is sinful. I'll posit that 27 percent do not believe it is sinful and that the Fundamentalists, and "born-again" components of the poll have better numbers than the "evangelicals."

where 44 percent of younger evangelicals oppose same-sex marriage, 20 points less than older evangelicals (63 percent). Younger evangelicals also appear more conflicted, with 17 percent saying they were not sure about the issue, compared to only 7 percent of older evangelicals were uncertain.

Whatever numbers you use, they are going downhill. Evangelical churches (take the United Methodists for example if you like) are more likely to break on this issue than Fundamentalists or Catholics.

Sorry, but I vaguely remember a survey that said over 50% of young Catholics believed same sex marriage was OK, not to mention a larger % of Catholic support abortion than all Evangelical combined, even those of evangelicals cults are against abortion at a greater % than are Catholics.

Makes sense knowing a majority of Catholics vote democrat election after election.

You seem so worried about Evangelicals, maybe you should worry about the plank in the eye of Catholicism before looking for a speck in eyes of Evangelicals.

According to a recent poll, 25 percent of Evangelical Protestants read the Bible daily, as do 20 percent of other Protestants. While that is bad and I can honestly say that I know for a fact that almost 80% of those who attend the church I attend read the Bible at least once a week, and 55% read it on a daily basis.

Compare that to a survey of Catholics that shows only 7% of Catholics read the Bible EVER!

Maybe if more Catholics read the Bible they might open their eyes to the inherent theology that is coming from their priests.

Another thing, Catholics claim Evangelicals worship the Bible instead of God.

That is so wrong.

We realize the Bible contains the Word of God and thus like the Bareans we study it daily to make sure that which is spoken from the pulpit is correct. I study my Bible intently along with using a Greek/Hebrew/English Linear to fact check everything I learn. You should see my personal Bible, it’s so marked up with notes and highlited passages it looks like a coloring book.

Every Catholics I met would never ever dare to mark their Bible with a pen or highlighter. As we know 93% are so afraid of the Bible they never even open it. How can they ever fact check what the priests are teaching if they never read it?

Maybe if more Catholics opened their Bible they would stop worshiping the ground the Pope walks on.

Again, I would advise you to get the beam out of the eyes of Catholics before worrying about the speck in the eyes of Evangelicals.
