The Pope is not seen as infallible on a personal level only when he is speaking "Ex Cathedra."

Please don't think the average fundamentalist is representative of most Protestants. As for one side trying to evangelize another, I've no problem with any good-hearted attempt in eitherhttp://community.beliefnet.com/go/thread/view/44071/13785751/Why_Are_So_Many_Noncatholics_Bothered_By_The_Pope?post_id=273853071#273853071Egad, alot of Protestants really cringe at Fundamentalism!

I haven't come across a lot of that here yet. It seems to me that most regular (mainline) Protestants seem to be tolerant of Catholics.

It was dominated by hard-core fundies who expressed an intense hatred of Catholicism, especially the Pope. Scary. I left in short order.
