“Catholicism is conservative because it refers to the immutable 2,000 years old authority of the Church, and Protestantism is liberal because it starts with a literal premise of individual interrpetation of the Scripture. We conserve, you scatter.”

No my friend. The Protestant Reformation attempted to save what was Catholic and scattered. The Church you have now was not always as it is. Protestants made you fix what was broken in your Church, in the process, we found something good, too.

We should both be happy and thankful for the Protestant movement.

If you see something salutary in the movement that scattered moral and religious authority, go ahead and celebrate that, but don’t call that thing conservative. It is not. You have not conserved a thing.
