The Baptist Bearing Robes and Incense | Christianity Today:
"There is a solemn procession to the altar. The choir is chanting. A bishop in a long, black robe and a full, gray beard swings an incense burner back and forth. We bow. We cross ourselves. It's a typical Sunday service at the Evangelical Baptist Church of Georgia. 'Yes. Baptist.'"
Reading things like this give the impression of compromise - Roman Catholics giving up some ground, Evangelical Christians giving up some ground - trying to meet in the middle. According to Dr. Michael Horton though, this isn't the case at all. Here is a short excerpt from his introduction to R. C. Sproul's Great book: Faith Alone: The Evangelical Doctrine of Justification:
"Has Rome's position changed? In fact, it has not. The Vatican documents, as well as the New Catechism of the Catholic Church reinvoke the theological position of the Council of Trent, condemning the Gospel of justification by an imputed righteousness. If it is not Rome that has altered its position in favor of the gospel, then it must be the other partner that has moved from its earlier position."
