“It’s also quite maddening to read these Protestant converts boasting of the “unity” of the Catholic Church. Never mind that the spectrum of beliefs within the “one true unchanging church” is as great as that among Protestant denominations. As long as everyone belongs to the same organization and recites the same words (which each interprets differently) then everything is just hunky-dory.”

You are certainly entitled to your opinion...

The Catholics who do not believe/obey every doctrine taught (de Fide) have effectively excommunicated themselves.

“Cafeteria” ones included.

“The Catholic Church, if it is hated by the “world,” is not hated nearly as much as Fundamentalist Protestants are. In fact, the intellectualism of the Catholic Church means it actually enjoys much respect from the world.”

Again, you are certainly entitled to your opinion; you may attempt to “document” this, but I doubt that anything of any substance will be presented.
