"Catholics love their labels."

ROTFLMAO . . .

It's non-Catholics who generate labels because they rely on Self Alone and have no anchor but their Self

People who are guided by the Holy Spirit don't reach thousands upon thousands of different conclusions like the Holy Spirit not being part of the Trinity, Christ telling a little white lie to the thief on the cross, Christ not being fully God, and Christ not being fully human with all of them still claiming to be Christian.

This nation has been overwhelmingly Protestant Christian since it was founded and has ended up exactly where Protestantism was destined to lead from it's beginnings; to total relativism with each person being their own highest authority in all matters. That's not being led by the Holy Spirit, that's being led by the same convenient spirit that led Eve and establishes Self Alone based Self Worship.

Protestantism - 600–800 million

Estimates of the total number of Protestants are very uncertain, partly because of the difficulty in determining which denominations should be placed in the category. It seems however clear that Protestantism is the second largest major group of Christians after Catholicism by number of followers. Often that number is put at 800 million.[8] Some sources, which put the number at 800 million, include also Anglicanism (see below) within Protestantism.[9][10]

Yeah, LOL, it's not the people who generate new labels for themselves every time someone gets upset at a church supper who love labels, oh noes, it's those Catholics who love labels.

Rather than fight the heresy, anarchy, and anti-Christ behavior in their own ranks, though, they join with others who deny Christ is God, deny the Holy Spirit is part of the Trinity, Judiaziers exactly like Paul contended with, and even those who call everything about Christ and Christianity a scam, to attack Catholicism in order to divert attention from fact that what they preach leads to division and away from Christ.

All those now very liberal leftist churches now ordaining women and queers, approving of abortion, agreeing that queers should marry one another, and so on were preaching the same anti-Catholic trash not too long ago and where did it lead them? It glossed over the corruption in their own ranks and lead them to going along to get along with the increasingly pagan society they love to be part of. They hate the Catholic Church because it won't agree with mass infanticide, queers marrying one another, ordaining queers, and all the other things that the "mainline" churches agree with and even some of the so-called Evangelicals agree with.

All the anti-Catholic trash is misdirection to aid the corrupting of non-Catholic Christian churches and keep them from uniting with Catholics on common shared goals to stop the anti-Christ society in it's tracks, and it always has been.
