I think some culturally conservative Protestants are attracted to Rome’s stance on abortion and other social issues, plus they long to be part of something really huge.
I would argue the correct word isn’t “huge” but rather “universal.” Whether there are 10 Catholics or 10 billion, whether they are in Africa, America, or Mars, the definitive, universal teachings remain the same.
Perhaps. But the church I attend IS culturally conservative as well. We should make sure the fellowship/worship groups we join agree with our world view. There are many Evangelical churches out there that are theologically and culturally conservative and who adhere to traditional Christian Biblical statements of faith.
