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.
Perhaps sometimes, but some of these guys are presbyterian ministers, from the PCA, for example.
