Wow!!! There is so much error in that article it's near impossible to know where to begin. The writer wants to compare protestantism with Catholicism. It continues in the vein of following one "church" or another "church". Not once in that article does it mention anything about following Christ alone. Not once does it reference the fact that it's God's word alone that should determine truth. The entire article is based on what man thinks God said.

>>Ultimately, then, a Protestant (who remains Protestant) studies the relevant sources—Scripture, history, the writings of authoritative figures in his tradition—and chooses the Protestant denomination that most aligns with his judgment.<<

That may be so but a Protestant does not a Christian make any more than does a Catholic indicate someone is a Christian. A true Christian does NOT rely on history, tradition, or the writings of authoritative figures without verifying with scripture if those teachings are true.

And that is also EXACTLY what a Catholic does.

Catholics are not exempt from that charge either.

NOBODY is.

That’s how we all make our decisions.

So the writer using that to try to impugn non-Catholics only has those four fingers pointing back at himself.

So true and some do not care

Ya ever think that just might be the idea?
