From the article...

Evangelicals are now learning that only Catholicism has the intellectual resources to combat the present secular age.

LOLOLOL!!!

This is hilarious, and points to the arrogant presumption of the RCC.

Let's see which churches have produced the most fruit...

Catholic countries -- South America, Central America, Italy, Mexico, southern Germany, France.

What do these countries have in common? Lethargy and a theology mired in mysticism, socialism and fascism.

Protestant countries -- the United States, England, most of western Europe, Australia. What do these countries have in common?

The Protestant work ethic, according to their Protestant heritage which upholds the Biblical truth that the good fruit of our work on earth is given by God and thus glorifies God.

The Protestant work ethic

... of dubious accord with the gospel. American social experiment of fostering the Economic Man at the expense of Catholic Man of divine sonship lasted for little over 200 years and shows all signs of decline, while Southern Europe and Latin America, while of modest economic success, have a simple organic lifestyle that endured over a thousand years.
