Fanatics of any kind is what we don’t need.
What we need is to find common ground, work together to eliminate misunderstandings, myths about each other, bigotry of all kinds and try to help our fellow men. Think of all the energy that is wasted on arguing unimportant (or even important) points of doctrine. If you want to settle some point of dogma, study about it and ask your maker what is true. He will tell you in your heart. You don’t need to blindly follow what your preacher tells you. Follow what James says. “Ask of God.” “Peça-a a Deus”

The last thing we need is fanatic evangelicals.

I understand that Protestant churches are also growing, especially those that are Pentecostal in nature. That was what the US press reported when Pope Benedict visited Brazil shortly after he became pope. It seems that there are a good number of strong Protestant churches in the Brazilian city where I live.

No surprise here. Most Catholics I know go to church only when there is a funeral, marriage or baptism. The only thing the Catholic church has to offer is forgiveness for doing whatever you think you did bad; then you can go out and do it all over again, repeating the process. Catholicism is a great religion for those who need one. You can do what pleases you without worrying about the consequences.
