Try to follow the thread. Or just dont participate. Thats always an option, you know.
I read the article. Otherwise, I have no interest in threads like this other than to post one or two parting shots. That's all they deserve.
Protestantism is defined by opposition to the Catholic Church. If the Catholic Church disappeared, so would most of the Protestan ones. Their raison d'etre would cease to be.

Honestly and meaning no sarcasm I don’t understand how you can say that. You think all the Baptist, Presbyterian, Evangelical Free, and various independent churches who meet around the Word of God out of love for Christ... you think that, if the Pope announced “That’s it!” and closed up shop, they’d all just look at each other, shrug, and go home?
Truly, I don’t follow your thinking.

Gosh, wouldn't that be a wonderful world? No need to spend time declaring the errors around us. Time only to glorify God through the truth of Jesus Christ risen from the cross.
One day.

Before long, all barriers to Christ, including the one true church and all the rest of us (LOL) will disappear. He will send terrors upon our world and then it won’t matter one twit whether you were Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, Pentecostal or anything else. If you are in Christ, that will be all that matters. Everything else will fade away.
