Vatican text angers Protestants
Pope Benedict has approved a new text asserting that Christian denominations outside Roman Catholicism are not true Churches in the full sense of the word.
...The document, issued by a Vatican watchdog, has been criticised as offensive by some Protestants.

Now not sure about you, but i am not quite sure where the outrage and surprise comes from. Since the pope is leader of the Catholic church, I would think there would be more outrage and surprise if he endorsed Judaism, or Hinduism as the one true faith. But then again i am just a non-believer. Where is the surprise here.
It's like a George Carlin Comedy sketch i remember about people who say "I have a friend who happens to be Black". He had a black father, a black mother, where is the surprise. It would be more of a surprise if he happened to be Swedish.
