The division between the Orthodox and the Catholics concerns me. We indeed are not in full communion. But I haven't talked about it here because the discussion was about Catholics not knowing what Protestants believe. The Orthodox are not Protestant.
My contention is that there IS agreement on the major tenets of the Christian faith (Nicean Creed, for example) among most "Protestant" churches.
But that's not what's being discussed, at least by me. The claim was that Catholics don't know what Protestants believe. Protestant belief is not just about the major tenets or all Catholics (and all Protestants) would know what Protestants believe. But they don't. [There have been times on FR where I posted a posted belief and other Protestants were surprised by it.]
...some individuals and errant denominations aren't in agreement on them.
I'm not talking about the individuals. But the denominations who think other denominations are in error because of their differently held beliefs, all supposedly based on Scripture.
You know; with all the words that have been typed from both sides of the aisle on this huge Gordian knot; I've lost track of the answer.
So; DO Catholics know what Protestants believe; or not?
This is valid.
But I am an individual.
To me, asking an individual to explain (justify) various sticking points among Prots; is as much as a fool's errand as asking a Catholic to explain (justify) various sticking points among Catholicism's hangups.
