Protestants are the same to be honest.

If I can argue here as a Baptist, it's not just Catholics that are affected. It's structural Christianity as a whole. That's why mainline Protestantism was the first to fall to liberalism. Once they became to intelligent for Scripture and the Reformed confessions, their entire existence was built upon the structure itself. Liberalism is like rot. It builds nothing on its own, but affects existing structures.

Rome has the advantage of having Rome as a spiritual focal point, but without a straight-backed, proud bishop at the helm in St. Peter's, the end result will be the same.

It's really not fair to judge all of Protestantism by charismatics or Pentacostals. We freely admit they're bonkers and doctrinally heterodox.

Because adaptability is important. It's one of the reasons why Catholic Church survived to this day.

Bullshit. The Holy See will never fall into obscurity.

Mainliners have nothing to be proud of either lad.

What are you talking about? The Catholic Church still opposes abortion and same sex marriage. Hell, they are slowing coming out against Trans.

Kind of a retarded statement. Apart from Orthodoxy, Catholicism resists "modernization" the most out of all the denominations. They're one of the few that actually doesn't accept faggot shit; they put it in nice words, but still.

Protestantism is the one being surbverted into watering down a message and being "with it, dude."

Someone posted a video of a Nestorian (Assyrian) Metropolitan explaining to Copts that they're not willing to have dialogue with Anglicans and such for having female priests and accepting homosexuals. I think while suggesting that Copts unfortunately do, but maybe they don't either.

They're both going to hell.

Because their religion is in decline and they're trying to attract a new crowd of gullible retards?

bruh, i was forced to go to a baptist church where there were multimedia presentations and "rock" concerts always going on, in addition to drama skits and other shit. they're all guilty of appealing to mainstream culture since they don't have enough history or culture of their own. not a judgement, but an observation.

>. Hell, they are slowing coming out against Trans.
They have always been against trannies. They believe them extremely spiritually misguided and confused.

Didn't early christianity give women more prominent roles?

Said fulfillment happened on Nisan 14, 32 AD.

It's a shame you don't know anything about Christianity.

Of course they do. They have to produce sufficient funds to avoid having to get real jobs. If you'll read about the early church in the bible, they were people who met over at Joe's house. Maybe there was punch. That's it. No decorated building with massive organ and full time staff; that shit is all pagan, then and now.

Not roles, but absolutely status. A woman Christian is sister to Jesus; a male Christian is brother to Jesus. Same status.
