While there is indeed great variety among Protestants (which in itself shows the inadequacy of sola Scriptura), they all share the same core beliefs of sola fide and sola Scriptura which he formulated. Protestants reject Catholic adherence to Tradition but they do not realize that they themselves are just as beholden to the tradition that was established by the Reformers.

there are bigger differences between the Roman rite and the Eastern Orthodox than many of the non-Catholic denominations.

There are major doctrinal differences that have existed for over 1,000 with both sides claiming to be the original form of Catholicism with the other being in schism.

They both can’t be right. So which one is?

So the variety in minor interpretations between Protestant churches isn’t as great as the Roman/Orthodox schism.

That invalidates your criticism of the weakness of, or rather inadequacy of, sola Scriptura.

The alleged variety in Scripture interpretation is vastly overblown by Catholicism in order to try to build a case against sola Scriptura.

Not a surprise.
