I’m not surprised. Liberals like Jimmy Carter are considered “evangelical” so it is a word that has lost much of its traditional meaning, much as “Protestant.” These days most “Protestants” are in lockstep with Rome; they may not believe in the pope, but they aren’t protesting anything. They see Rome as an alternative Christian system and if asked they would probably say it’s time hold hands and to put the Reformation behind us. It’s sad really.
Sad indeed.
