I certainly hope the proddie* leaders figure it out faster and better than the Catholic bishops did. A desire to keep things quiet and avoid scandals didn't exactly work out well for them...

Along those lines, and in light of our other recent conversations, I'd be interested to see what the operating definition of "Protestant" is for this article.

For the purpose of that post, please see the footnote :)

I was thinking of you when I made it.

Fru, my experience in the military is that they wanted to view everything in Christianity that wasn’t catholic or orthodox as protestant.

Methodism came a couple hundred years after the reformation, so it’s ify whether one could agree with Wesley and include them in the reformation. The reformation churches, in my mind, should be the true definition of protestant.

It’s simply incorrect to view the Assembly of God or the Church of God, etc., as protestant. Some other label would be more appropriate: American Evangelical....something like that.
