I could see this coming from a long way off. The papacy has not really changed at all. Great post.
I think the long and short of it is their history is that of a political entity that used religion as a tool of control. I believe it's roots go back to when the Italian aristocracy began to take positions of power after Constantine legalized the RCC's status. We are really just seeing this church return to what it has always been.
Hopefully those evangelicals that wish some type of ecumenism with them will recognize we hold positions that are not reconcilable with them.

It's a one-way street with the purpose of influencing those caught up in it to convert to Catholicism and vice-versa. If one thinks it will do any good, they are somewhat deceived.
