Rick never spoke for Protestants because he has never been a Protestant. He was, and ostensibly is, an evangelical of the mushy, compromised, Message Bible, praise band, Jesusy love song, goat baptizing, navel-gazing, cheesy drama, short pep-talk self-improvement sermon, manmade church growth, loyalty oath, coffee and bagel bar, mega-church wing.

Historically, Protestants were (and remain) united around a set of rock-ribbed doctrinal beliefs, few of which Warren holds. He’s a Protestant only in the sense that he’s non-Catholic. However, he has championed Catholics and Catholic theology, much like Chuck Colson, far more than he has historic Protestantism. He paid a little lip-service to Jonathan Edwards a few years ago, seemingly to curry favor with John Piper, but there is no evidence he ever held to the core tenets of Edwards’ theology. Warren and his ilk take Protestants like me to task. They know better than our forefathers. They are smart and have a new better way.

Rick is brilliant...and very dangerous.

“Rick never spoke for Protestants because he has never been a Protestant.”

Actually he is a Protestant. Other Protestants may not like that, but it doesn’t change the fact that he is a Protestant.

Bullseye.
