I would like to caution Roman Catholics that they should not lump all Protestants into one, big, monolithic group. What Michael Voris is describing are these non-denominational, pop culture, mega-churches. There is nothing Protestant about them. There are also several forms of Protestantism, such as the conservative and radical forms. The one thing that Protestants and Catholics have in common is that we are losing the youth at an alarming rate.

Except sola scriptura and sola fide.

With grace, I would like to also caution you on lumping all non-denominational “mega-churches” in one group. I really don't understand why Christians do this. If you like small, mainstream Protestant churches, that is great. I'm glad you found a place. But, many of us enjoy the enthusiasm, growth, and Bible fundamentals taught at the big churchs. Are there some megachurches that are shallow? Yes. Are they all? no. Moreover, everyone is at different stages in their walk with Christ. Some need the “draw” of a popular mega-church. Some later move on to a smaller church. Others stay for the excitement of seeing new believers come to Christ, and to help train them up.

I know you realized that there are true Christians in megachurches, small mainstream churches, and Catholic Churchs. We need to start remembering that our differences can be strength (the body is made up of different members)and unifying, instead of always dwelling on the differences.
