The elements of what constituted the Church for the last 2,000 years is lacking in Protestant/Baptist communities.

That is the very same attitude which gave us the inquisitions... the jailings of 'non' Catholics for doctrinaire reasons, and the heavy handed tactics which was used by the Roman Catholic Church through the centuries.

I certainly don't hold that against any Catholics of today, as those acts were perpetrated by men, not the Holy Spirit.

I love my Catholic brothers in Christ, and believe them to be genuine Christians.

People have misused and abused religious affiliations for political and personal reasons, all of which equals wrong reasons. But that doesn't make apples oranges, RRR. :)
