"...Christ did not establish a level playing field. He did not establish a democracy."

As a monarchist, and as a Catholic loyal to the Magisterium, I obviously agree. Christ is the King of the Universe, not its president, and His Holiness is the Prince of the Church, not its chairman. My fellow American Catholics need to realize that in matters of faith and morals vox populi is most definitely not vox dei; quite the opposite, in fact.

Democracy sucks -- and as a way to govern Christ's Church it's an evil failure as well. The mainstream Protestants have voted themselves into irrelevance; let's learn from their mistakes instead of repeating them.

Divine Hierarchy bump.

I agree with you.

I think it's important to note that many Protestants are good, God-fearing people who are sincerely trying to live as Jesus commands. I have utmost respect for those who are constantly seeking the Truth and spreading the Word. I know many wonderful and, dare I say, holy Protestants who are more "Catholic" than some of my CINO friends. I am praying for their eventual return to the true Church established by Christ because we ARE one body in Christ and the body is within His Church.

God bless.
