| The arguement that Catholics aren't Christian predominently orginates from Protestant camps that believe their particular brand of vodka is the only drink in town. Most Protestant churches I have been in treat Mary worship, the Pope, and other tennents of Catholocism like they are jokes.
Unless, of course, you're referring to Christian in the sense of national statistics, then Protestants will include Catholics, Mormons and nearly anything else to "prove" that there is a Christian majority among the American populace.
I've always viewed Catholocism and Protestantism as two halves of Christianity, kind of like the American and National leagues in Major League Baseball. |
