Lord, deliver the Catholic Church from anything to do with protestantism.

Is this why you don't like a literally true Genesis? Because it's "Protestant?"

Perhaps you should also reject the "new testament," since Protestants believe in it as well.

This is a nuance in the internal debate an outsider will miss. 60-80% of what Protestants believe is Catholic teaching: Divinity of Christ, historicity of the Gospels, redemption of sin by Christ alone, everlasting life of the elect and salvation by grace alone, inerrancy of the Holy Scripture. Understand: the Protestantism is not a separate religion but a corruption of authentic Catholic Christianity. So when I Catholic says, “deliver us from Protestantism” he is speaking of the corruption, not of the core.

You mean sort of like protestants IGNORE the Old Testament?
