Protestant Descent Into Secularism

In June of this year, the largest Presbyterian denomination in America voted to allow their clergy to perform same-sex “marriages” within the church, thus joining the ranks of other Protestant denominations, such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church, Episcopalian Church, and United Church of Christ.
This “evolution” of theology and “modernizing” of church doctrine is a trend that I predict we’ll continue to see in non-Catholic Christian circles for years to come, and not just with marriage. Today, nearly all Protestant denominations support and even advocate the use of artificial birth control, and many allow at least some level of support for abortion.
Of course, not all Protestants are willing to “move with the times”, so to speak; there remains, especially among the more conservative groups, quite a bit of dissent. However, it cannot be denied that many modern day Protestant denominations are falling further into the depths of secularism.

The left has embraced the identity of a post Christian America while Russia has outlawed homosexuals, abortion and protestants and jehovas witnesses, evangelicals and mormons and moslems.

And you don't think "Pope" Frannie is headed the same direction?

It’s not a matter of faith; it’s a matter of size.

Leftists were working on infiltrating all the church bodies in the world. Catholics just held out a little longer because they were larger and so it took more resources to reach critical heresy mass.

But as you can see from the current Pope, the RCC is eagerly embracing secularism too by now. It just took a few decades more.

Before catholics start throwing stones....

NFP isn’t very popular among the faithful. Only 2 percent of U.S. Catholic women of childbearing age actually use this method, according to the Guttmacher Institute. Meanwhile, according to a 2014 poll by Univision, 79 percent of Catholics around the world support the use of other forms of contraception. Previous polling has reported that 82 percent of American Catholics say birth control is “morally acceptable,” and 98 percent of U.S. Catholic women of childbearing age have used contraception at some point while they’ve been sexually active.

As if the overall fruit of Rome was better, while in contrast evangelicals (and who most strongly esteem Scripture) testify to being the more conservative major group .

“while Russia has outlawed homosexuals, abortion and protestants and jehovas witnesses, evangelicals and mormons and moslems. “

Protestants and evangelicals are the same as the other things on your list?
What?
