Give us an example of *Protestant* tradition that non-Catholics follow that are on equal basis with Scripture as the RCC *sacred tradition* is.

That's the problem. Protestants don't follow any traditions. That why there are so many sects of protestants that disagree on birth control, abortion, homosexual marriage, divorce, etc. Name me one protestant sect that condoned homosexual marriage or abortion 100 years ago.

That is what this article is about Jorge Bergolio is a protestant, not a Catholic.

Do we or don't we?

I guess it depends some on which Catholic we are talking to.

Half your membership believes in all those things... Are they protestant too? If so, will you begin to claim you only have 500 million members???
