Protestant Christianity ≠ Evangelical though most Catholics lump them together.

That said, I've never had a Catholic knock on my door to invite me to church.

The Catholic church grows through new births, i.e. you are born Catholic and die Catholic. This allows early indoctrination into the cult.

Come on now, the Catholic Church is not a cult.

When you join a cult all of your assets become assets of the cult. You have a big bank account. The cult has a big bank account. You have a van. The cult has a van. You have a 50 cal machine gun. The cult has a 50 cal machine gun.

A religion usually only wants 10%. :)

So, which Evangelical group is on record as opposing contraception?

How should we "lump" them? If the "Five Sola" were valid principles they WOULD all be lumped together.

Liberal Protestantism with it's acceptance of female clergy, abortion, homosexuality, etc. was always going to be the outcome of YOPIOS, because man's sinful nature will result in him using YOPIOS to rationalize his sin.

If you speak about Catholicism to the people you know the same way you speak about Catholicism on FR then I can't say that I blame them.
