[Hermann the Cherusker]

However, many of the Churches still go by those creed thingies as you call them, and those have remained steadfast and sure over all of these years. The Church is the body of Christ, then, now and forever! Bless you.

It seems to me that those who do, are breakways from larger denominations that have utterly apostasized (Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Lutheran, etc.).

In any case, excepting a few fundementalists, Protestantism is in a headlong retreat on basic moral principles like accepting artificial birth control, divorce and remarriage, etc. The number of Protestant Churches who accepted abortion without a fight for many years in the 70's is utterly appalling.

Even more to the point, however, if that few feel bound by the creeds in their entirety, sicne each Protestant has his own spin and interpretation.

”Protestantism is in a headlong retreat on basic moral principles like accepting artificial birth control, divorce and remarriage, etc.”

And the Catholic Church isn’t? Hoo Boy! Reality check time.

[Quester]

The number of Protestant Churches who accepted abortion without a fight for many years in the 70's is utterly appalling ...

... as is the acceptance of gays into the Catholic ministry.

The Protestants have, in large part, corrected their position on abortion.

The world watches as the Catholic Church continues to struggle with it's issues.
