>>I don't think Protestants generally bear any malice towards Catholics but we don't care for the hierarchy and bureaucracy.<<

As a Catholic, I have no problem with that. If you did like the bureaucracy, you might be Catholic. Maybe not but the mods rule of avoiding pronouns easily confused such as “you” which can be both singular, (You worship idols) and plural (You [as in the Catholic church] worship idols) has gone a long way to toning things down.

Discussion of theological differences between Protestants and Catholics seems to get problematic because of it.

A Protestant has to argue his own case, in his own terms, based on his own opinions and beliefs.

When a Catholic challenges those beliefs, it's based on theological opinions handed down from the church - you are essentially arguing someone else's case, in their terms, based on their opinions and beliefs, and they are not here to question about the basis or reasong behind them.
