Well that's one reason why in recent years some
Protestant fundies have been showing greater respect
towards the Catholic Church.  People like Ratzinger
take much the same stance on issues like gays that
the fundies take, but they express these positions
in a much more high-falutin language that gives it the
appearance of great intellectual sophistication.
For those Protestant fundies who are seeking to
attain some degree of cultural and intellectual
respectability, this is a temptation that's hard
for them to resist.
