Protestants can’t even agree among themselves on matters of essential Christian doctrine, yet they all profess to believe in the Bible alone.
If the Bible is so easy to understand, then why are there over 30,000 different Protestant sects with differing views?
The problems in the Catholic Church have been created since Vatican II by those in the Church who want to believe like Protestants, but lack the courage to admit it openly.
What was your previous screen name?
Give us one example of one verse that has 30,000 differing interpretations.
For that matter, give us one verse which has as few as 5 differing interpretations.

Actualy, almost all protestant churches agree on the same doctrines for Salvation. It is only the irrelivant things that causes some to separate from others.
The ONE important thing they DO agree on is...”Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved!”
#1 Name 'em if you've counted 'em. (I won't tap my foot waiting)
#2 Round up 10 Roman Catholic women in one room from around the world. We won't even ask them what they believe on every "Roman Catholic" doctrine. We'll just ask them their position on associated issues such as birth control, sexuality, marriage and abortion:
* One will consider the pill as a potential source of abortion.
* One will be on the pill herself.
* One will consider to be pro-life from conception to beyond birth.
* One will have already gotten one or more abortions.
* One will promote abstinence until marriage.
* One can't remember with how many boys/men she's slept with.
* One will eschew divorce with zealousness.
* One will be divorced once or more at her own initiative for no Biblical reason.
* One will closely adhere to what the Pope and Vatican utters.
* One won't even have them within their radar screen.
* Shall I go on...?
I don't even have to outline all the distinct "camps" within Catholicism.
Hey, all I have to do to show you "Catholic diversity" on key doctrines is to go visit 10 distinct Catholic homes.
I'd recommend removing that beam in your eye, but hey, my own eyesight is rather poor and full of too many splinters myself...but I would -- if I were you -- go see a specialist. You gotta major timber industry goin' on there...
If we TOLD you; then the CATHOLIC church would know why IT isn't monolithic!
