For later.

The last edition of First Things talked of the Death of Protestant America. The author said it was basically between the Catholics and the Evangelicals.

My fear is that there are not enough orthodox Catholics and to many Rick Warren style Evangelicals to turn this country back from the abyss.

As if it is ONLY the liberal Protestants that are the worry. Orthodox Protestants OR orthodox Catholics would be better than the more liberal versions of either kind, IMHO.

I have my differences with my Catholic FRiends here (as some may have determined by now), but at the least we agree upon the Gospel and have the benefit of moral absolutes to start from. Our many differences aside, We all know right from wrong, honor our God, our fathers, and our forefathers ... Without those roots, it is all lost. Just as it is already gone in most of Christendom.

As to the main point of the article, I disagree. I am all for working together where it is possible, but I do not see a "coming together", nor do I think it desirable, until the coming of our Lord to set it all straight.

In fairness I think we should include the Orthodox, although they are far fewer than Catholics and Evangelicals.
