"Unfortunately, protestantism cannot define itself apart from Catholicism."

Odd. I've been a Baptist for about 40 years, and I've never heard Catholicism addressed in a sermon or in any discussion about what we believe. When asked what we believe, we go to the Bible, not to creeds or historical texts.

Even in their worship and praise of Christ there is the backhanded slap to Catholicism.

I'd love to know how singing "The Old Rugged Cross" is a "backhanded slap to Catholicism".
