D1212: An all too typical state of cecity seen here .
I used to wonder why so many RC's twist themselves into knots defending their church. A RC cleared it up for me he said "defending our church is defending our faith".
An Evangelical Christian would never consider their church their faith. Our faith is in Jesus Christ. Our churches are assemblies in which we worship and fellowship with other believers.
Watch how RC's twist all reporting of their new Pope so he doesn't seem to be so much of a lefty. One thing you won't see is them condemn him, or their church.
I believe you are mis-stating something here. WELCOME TO THE TRUTH. Check out this link:

Pope Francis: Abortion ‘cries out in vengeance to God’; Church will never change teaching
Your point about Evangelicals not defending their churches seems reasonable. They do not derive apostolic authority or tradition from them. They are not claiming to be the one true church and the doctrines held by that church are largely a result of either the personal leadership of the pastor and/or the popular demand of the members.
for some it seems more like, "defending our church is defending our god," for to believe in God is to believe in Rome, as Cardinal Law told me, and it is their supreme manifest object of allegiance and devotion, source of security.
Our faith is in Jesus Christ. Our churches are assemblies in which we worship and fellowship with other believers.
Which is why we can easily fellowship with other evangelical churches, as we share a common Scripture-based conversion and relationship with Christ.

Or what the manifest sectarianism which the pope is actually supposed to be the solution for.
