...my problem with Protestantism is that there just isn’t enough “there” there.

Well; there is HIGH church and there is LOW church.

Many care for the ritual and pomp and others do not.

Smells and Bells is the derisive term I think.

Holy Rollers come in at the opposite end of the spectrum.

“Smells and Bells is the derisive term I think.”

I love smells and bells, but that isn’t what I was talking about. I was talking about the intellectual sphere, the ability to provide answers that are not only true, but intellectually satisfying to intelligent, philosophically sophisticated adults.

Catholic thought is like that warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Arc, except that everything in it is accessible.
