Yet all are unified and in 100% agreement with 100% of the Catechism, rendering all differences in disciplines theologically superficial and not at all dogmatic. What do you think "Catholic" means?
Peace be with you
(Oh, you mean those Catholics who promote liberation theology, particularly in Latin America, are right on board with the rest??? Give me a break)
Most of the key theological differences among Protestants are in just two areas: Church govt and the Sacraments.
Likewise, among the Catholic splinter orders, there are distinctives in church govt.
For most of the Catholic orders, their authority of oversight comes down via a superior general.
That isn't true of the Benedictines (Order of St Benedict), which "has a system of 'independent houses'" in which "each abbey is autonomous"
Source: Catholic religious order
Sorry...but autonomous Benedictine abbeys are kind of like the free-floating single non-denominational churches out there...
Per the link above, "The The Canons Regular of Saint Augustine are in a situation similar to that of the Benedictines. They are organized in eight 'congregations', each headed by an 'abbot general', but also have an 'Abbot Primate of the Confederated Canons Regular of Saint Augustine'. And the Cistercians are in thirteen 'congregations', each headed by an "abbot general" or an 'abbot president', but do not use the title of 'abbot primate'."
So the Catholics have all these relatively autonomous Benedictines, Augustinians, and Cistercians on the loose...structured under a highly distinctive govt...just like the Protestants arrange themselves distinctly church govt wise [Presbyterians under a Presbyter/elder govt; etc.]
Catholic means universal.
Looks like it is shorthand for Roman Catholic Church - something entirely different than 'catholic'.
