They define the term "Protestant" loosely. They make it seems as if the Protestants who withdrew from Rome originally are returning home after realizing their error. This is anything but the case. Rather, people who have developed under the guise of Protestantism in denominations who have been unfaithful to their roots, becoming anything but Protestant, are turning to Rome.

In reality, what they are abandoning and what they are adopting has no real doctrinal distinction (except for Germans in funny hats), because they had no real doctrinal distinction to begin with. They sacrificed that long ago in the name of "brotherhood" and "unity".

No, these "Protestant" clergy are anything but Protestant. One cannot fairly classify a Classical Protestant with a Modern Evangelical. Sure, some terms will overlap but we mean entirely different things by them.
