"Relativism, pluralism and naturalism are the three main foes of evangelicalism today and they're the main foes of conservative Roman Catholics," said Norman Geisler, president of Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, N.C., and co-author of Roman Catholics and Evangelicals: Agreements and Differences.

"We rejoice in the choice because he's going to hold the line and he's not going to allow the liberal element in the Catholic Church to reverse any of those things."

Prison Fellowship Founder Chuck Colson, an original participant in the 1994 "Evangelicals and Catholics Together" document, which aimed to foster cooperation between the two groups, hailed Ratzinger's election as "a great choice."

see - the vatican has joined the bushgang. wonder what the entry fee was. will there be an initiation?

and we must respond to what they REALLY mean when they spout:

Relativism, pluralism and naturalism

1. Three main foes?

Norman Geisler is surely low-balling it.

If a Bible is so much as set in the wrong typeface, a whole lot of Evangelicals will think it's the work of the Devil.

"Relativism, pluralism and naturalism" = "anything I don't care for". Which could range from the designated hitter rule to Lindsay Lohan to low-carb s'mores.
