The problem is not with Protestantism; the problem is with Hegelianism, Romanticism, socialism, and progressivism. The Protestant denominations that have stuck to sola fide and sola scriptura, such as the PCA and ARP with Presbyterians, LCMS and WELS with Lutherans, and the Southern Baptist Convention, Wesleyans, Assemblies of God, Word of Faith, and Church of God in Christ, have not succumbed to the devolution of doctrine or practice.

It would be interesting to hear from the 30,000-40,000 different Protestant denominations (Google) on what their stand is on same-sex marriages.

The Catholic Church puts that number of different Protestant denomiations at 30,000; the Protestants themselves say there are 40,000 different denominations. Google it yourself; it's an interesting read.

There are all sorts of forbidden unions. If THIS forbidden union is allowed WHAT would be next? Brothers-sisters? Fathers-daughters? Humans-animals? Multi-inner family unions?

I always thought that the Bible was pretty clear about ONE man and ONE woman.
LORD help us, Catholics, ALL Protestant denominations and all other God-fearing people.

You DID nail it: devolution of doctrine/practice.

"The Catholic Church puts that number of different Protestant denomiations at 30,000; the Protestants themselves say there are 40,000 different denominations. Google it yourself; it's an interesting read."

We rightly put the number of individual Catholic denominations at millions, since Catholics around the world choose what they believe regardless of the positions of Rome - making their own truth.

Indeed, you should research it, as doing so more objectively reveals the specious nature of it. Even RC apologist said , As for 33,000, I renounced that number years ago (about eight), having been convinced of the faulty criteria used, by Eric Svendsen. I usually say, now, “hundreds of Protestant denominations.”

And how can you compare a multitude of churches, the dentition of which is so broad that you can drive a Unitarian Scientology Swedenborgian Episcopalian 747 thru it, with one church?

Is Rome's unity greater than any Prot denomination?

What would be a valid comparison is that of one btwn two models for unity, that of teaching what Scripture states is the supreme standard as the wholly inspired and infallible word of God, versus what the church teaches being the supreme standard as posessing assured veracity.

And which one is Scriptural.

Moreover, the reality is that if you separated those whom Rome treats and buries as members according to their doctrinal and moral beliefs you would have multitudes of differences.

Do RCs have an infallible interpreter of their infallible interpreter?

Can you even tell me for sure how much of what RCs believe and practice is is infallibly defend and indisputable?

Of what boast is a unity that is very limited and largely on paper, while what one really believes is manifest by what they do, (Ja. 2:18) and which means members can believe all sort of different things and yet be Catholic members?
