The term Evangelical Catholic is used by Christians who consider themselves both "catholic" and "evangelical." Evangelical Catholic (catholic is the noun with evangelical modifying) can refer to: evangelical Protestant Christians who consider themselves catholic Christians that identify with the historic Christian Church, who believe that the early ecumenical councils and the Protestant Reformation were both part of the progressive illumination of the Holy Spirit; Roman Catholics who want to identify themselves more closely with evangelical Protestants with similar ecumenical ideals and "progressive illumination"; Catholics who simply want to define themselves according to a penchant for evangelism. Evangelical Catholics may include Eastern Rite Catholic Churches or other churches that are not Roman Catholic, such as Anglican, Lutheran, Reformed, Baptist, or Pentecostal.

Why don't evangelical protestants go to the early church fathers and the Catechism of the Catholic Church to get information about Catholicism?

The folks who started the Reformation were members of the Roman Catholic church and therefore knew the beliefs and practices of that church "from the inside". Initially they wanted to reform the Roman Catholics but then left that church when it refused to change.Answer from a Roman Catholic: To get an accurate answer to this question you would have to ask an evangelical protestant, I would assume. Most of the friends that I have who fall into that category have been trained since early childhood to view the Catholic church as so wrong in so many ways, that they (some of those that I know) actually attribute the church's teachings to Satan. I think this is just a deeply ingrained prejudice and they fear being contaimed by what they were taught is evil.
