Not to mention that in 2003, the Pope was very frail and unable to be as involved as he once was. Benedict is being incredibly forceful and that is uniting the Church.

Yes, of course. The posting of this 4 year old story to a current FR thread by freeper Gamecock, is nothing more than wishful and delusional thinking. In reality, just the opposite is true, as evidenced by the recent migrations of several notable Protestant theologians. And that does not include the flood of ECUSA members into the Catholic Church, post ordination of an openly gay bishop.

My feeling is that if the Protestants have great Catholic theologians who have become Protestants, let them tell us who they are. The problem is that they don’t have any. They have only weirdos who at least are honest enough to leave the Church.

On the other hand, we are stuck with heretics who won’t leave because they know (a) the Church is their best publicity platform and (b) it’s where the Xerox machines are (as the odious Rosemary Reuther of Boston College once said - or maybe it was some other flaming heretic, I don’t recall).

Let them go to the Protestants. It would be much more honest on their part, and then the Protestants would have to pay their salaries.
