Catholics vs. Evangelicals | National Catholic Reporter

Catholics vs. Evangelicals | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: This was inevitable when Catholics in the south bowed to cultural pressure (or maybe just were part of it) and instituted segregated Communion rails.  They reacted in the same way to pornography, the destigmatization in medicine of homosexuality and masturbation and of course abortion.  The only meaninful differences are there are still those who call the Pope the anti-christ while the Catholics love their Obamacare.  Sad that an examination was not also made with the Black Evagelcial Church in the mix.  There is still the problem of unity - which I suspect will not be the reconversion of the Protestants as much as the reconversion of Rome to Orthodoxy and the abandonment of the claim that the pope is first among equals.  Given recent public involvement of His All-Holliness in Catholic events, such as the cornonation of Francis, such a reunion is not far.  With that should come the multiplication of western patriarchies - some of which do use democracy to elect their bishops.  I suspect the conservatives will be disappointed by this development.
