this Pope doesn't even allow that Protestants are good or Christian enough to worship in churches

Like I remarked to the "doctor" earlier, a clean explanation of the Catholic theology attracts people who take the entirety of the gospel seriously and repels those who view the formation and maintenance of so-called denominations as their primary concern. It also repels some lukewarm Catholics, and the Church is becoming smaller.

The article shows that the Catholic Church has won the intellectual argument. If one is to pinpoint when, that would be exactly where the article places it, at the publication of the Catechism, wide availability of the patristic teaching and Catohlic apologetics on the Internet, and the rise of extremist secularism combined with the collapse of secular sexual morality.

I take the entirety of the Gospel seriously as I read His Word. I have little interest in denominations as I am a part of the bigger picture, the Body of Christ/the Bride of Christ. I have absolutely no interest in becoming a Roman Catholic. One can easily go to hell winning intellectual arguments and losing the spiritual one.

That's good since it is your side that HAS to be innately smart enough to make the right decisions and cooperate, etc. It's sort of Darwinian. Only the smartest will grow to become Catholics and survive spiritually. :)
