It sure is good that Catholicism has one centralized authority to determine what correct doctrine is so people don’t stray from it, isn’t it?

Then they can show us be example, the unity of belief that comes from having one authority that everyone can follow.

Now there’s no arguing or quibbling about the fines points of doctrine since everyone believes and agrees with the dictates of the Vatican.

Right?

That USED to be the basic party line but now the TradCaths essentially operate as evangelicals should, making the veracity of church teachings subject to examination in the light of ancient church teaching (though for us, Scripture).
