Wait, what? I thought all Catholics were unified under one set of rules.

If everything was as it should be, this would be the case.

For the most part, yes. However, you can’t prevent troublemakers from simply existing, including in this day and age especially so. For instance, I could blog and claim to be a Catholic Priest over this great mask called the internet, it would be lying for me to do it, but there’s nothing to stop me from doing it. I could call myself Catholic and be stubborn about it, it wouldn’t neccessarily be right, but I could do it. I could go on and on, but the point is, it doesn’t appear to be God’s way that troublemakers can’t profess or exist amongst a religion’s ranks, however, as Jesus said in speaking of wheat and tares, the two ultimately become fully distinguishable, and will ultimately be weeded out, and it won’t be pretty, but again, you can’t say he didn’t give fair warning.

It was never unified world-wide.The Holy Days of Obligation were different in some countries.Never made sense to me.
