The pope met with a well-known evangelical and other religious heads to “come together” (make other religions more like catholics - no reverse adoption of faith happening). Sadly, for evangelicals, this is most likely the start of the “one world religion” prophesied in the bible that will hold sway during the tribulation. Fortunately, the evangelicals can act independently so not all faith will be lost and the one world religion will not net everyone.
What is underhanded is that, while some pastors told their flocks what they were going to do (morph into catholicism), others are in stealth mode in order to avoid
“upsetting” anyone.
The people who want Protestants to "come home" are Catholics who actually believe in Catholicism.
On the other hand, there's plenty of evidence that Francis thinks Protestants are better Christians than Catholics are. In fact, there's plenty of evidence that faithful Catholics are the only people for which Francis has real disdain.
You left the Catholic Church. Francis is busily destroying it from the inside out.

Not knowing what *kind* of Catholic you are/were, but a question is: just how much Catholic education/knowledge did you have? Makes a difference in one’s viewpoint.
[ I came over from Protestant. How little did I know.
I wasn’t an automatic Catholic by birth.
It was wonderful to learn and gain faith and learn and gain faith. Nothing like it !
PRAISE THE LORD +
If any of that was in the last 50 years, it means nothing in terms of what you actually know. You’ve proven this on multiple occasions.
No, I wasn’t alive in the 50s. What specifically don’t I know?
It is as clear as a bell that you are right. It is prophesized, so it must come to past, but it is awful to see. I wonder if these pastors are globalist plants to begin with? So much of the Church has become dumbed down with feel goodism it is a wonder that there are so many true Christians. It is only by God's grace.
Bless you. Welcome home.
“No, I wasn’t alive in the 50s. What specifically don’t I know?”
I don’t keep a list, but I could have.
So you make a charge, and then can’t back it up. I figured as much.
“...many mainline denominations have bought into it.”
And therein lies the problem. These denominations tend to be very liberal theologically. As in thinking it is okay to be gay, for example. That said, why would anyone want to adhere to Catholicism when it is so anti-biblical with its teachings and traditions? It’s a mystery to me.
As a former Catholic, you will always be a Catholic. The mark of your baptism does not leave your soul.
You are just an in active Catholic at this time in your life. All you need to do is to sit down with a priest and get your questions answered.
