The Catholic Church has always been open to being split as are the protestant denominations, it calls to question for me what foundation are they really built upon.
I 'd liketo comment on this, but I'm not sure quite what yuou mean by it. So I'd liket o give you a chance to explain.
What do you mean by "has always been open to being split"? Do you mean it has always been possible to split from the Catholic Church, i.e. there is no way to stop people walking out, they will walk out if they want to"?
Or do you mean "The Catholic Church's response to internal splits is just to go on tolerating them, i.e. you can deviate on any point of faith and morals you want to, and still be a member of a parish, receive the Sacraments and call youself a Catholic"?
Or do you mean something else?
Thanks for any clarification.
