Protestant Fatigue
The mental and spiritual exhaustion experienced by Catholic and Orthodox Christians from repeatedly having to answer the same Protestant questions or objections despite the question being answered or settled centuries ago. It stems from the Catholic and Orthodox compulsion to present a scripturally, logically, and historically coherent case, and the Protestant lack of a unified, divinely-secured, universal institution with teaching authority from an unbroken line of visible succession up to the apostles and to Jesus Christ himself.

O: Nah. He's talking to you.
