again you did not read my original post I said I knew four Evangelicals who were fallen away Catholics and who divorced and remarried and are now Evangelicals.

Of course i read your post, as that is why i said you knew just four Evangelicals converts from Rome.

Of every single protestant I know,

Now you are simply negating the distinction i have made from the beginning, that of evangelicals, and you said, "the vast majority of fallen away Catholics...are divorced and remarry," despite also including Prots.

Which term "Protestant is so wide that it is basically meaningless. I am defending a kind of faith which the term "evangelical" best fits overall, if in decline, not whatever falls under the term "Protestant." The facts remain that those who most strongly hold to Scripture literally being the assured word of God and supreme authority are far more conservative and unified in core beliefs than the overall fruit of Rome.

protestants are the ones who need damage control

Indeed they would if they were claiming to be conservative and the one true faith. But that is Rome's claim, and thus it is challenged and refuted.

you are the ones who celebrate when fallen away Catholics find a place at your 'Catholic lite - protestant easy' sects.

Which is another grasping, specious charge. "We" as a conservative evangelicals are a movement which historically were called fundamentalists, even by Rome, because they opposed such liberalism.

and my number is only four Evangelicals however slightly less than 50 total protestants...

Irrelevant. When i begin defending all that falls under the name "Protestant" - the definition of which is so wide you can drive a Unitarians Scientology Swedenborgian 747 thru it then your charge will be fitting.

You don;t need to believe my 'biased' polling just use your eyes and count the divorced protestants

Ditto. The fact remains however that Catholics do not have less divorced members than evangelicals, and Rome treats even prosodomite proabortion pols as members in life and in death.

As I said several times protestants get our dregs and Catholics get your best:

Rather, the evidence shows evangelicals take your "dregs out of a liberal church and make then conservatives, while the best place to call home is Rome of liberal Prot churches, which tend to be the most like Rome.

Yet considering the status of men the Lord chose and souls as the Corinthians, the Jews had your attitude.

It would be interesting to see what the broken marriages stats are like if you threw the RCC sanctioned divorce (aka annulments) in the mix.

If there is no difference between denominations for divorces, that is, no doubt, not counting annulments.

But broken marriage vows are broken marriage vows, and whether it's a non-church sanctioned break called a divorce, or a church sanctioned divorce, called an annulment, it's still a broken marriage and family.
