Hey!There’s nothing wrong with Baptists.
There’s a whole lot wrong with Carter.
Baptists shouldn’t presume to tell Catholics how to run our Church.

Don’t worry. I’m not holding him against you. His real religion is progressivism, just like Pelosi, et. al.
Per ABC
Former President Carter, a longtime Sunday school teacher, is walking away from the Southern Baptists because of the church’s stance on equality for women.
In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published today, Carter says Southern Baptist leaders reading the Bible out of context led to the adoption of increasingly “rigid” views.
“I’m familiar with the verses they have quoted about wives being subjugated to their husbands,” he told the paper. “In my opinion, this is a distortion of the meaning of Scripture. … I personally feel the Bible says all people are equal in the eyes of God. I personally feel that women should play an absolutely equal role in service of Christ in the church.”
So, yeah, don't blame the Baptists for him.
To be fair, Jimmy is affiliated with the “Cooperative Baptist Fellowship”. This organization was created in 1991; it separated from the Southern Baptist Convention over, among other things, the SBC’s refusal to ordain women. So the Georgia Dingbat is at least being consistent.
