why are there 20,000+ contrary interpretations of Scripture within Protestantism?

There aren't. That's just something Catholics want to believe and make them feel that having other men interpret for them, is better than a holy priesthood made up of believers.

How many do you think there are? Is it a number that fits with "perfected in unity"?

Indeed.

But if there's the notion that the 20,000 are to be slammed up against our screens with impunity and silence resulting . . . without including the Roman sect in the number . . . that notion is utter nonsense.

Shoot--within the Roman group itself, they probably would come close to that number of 'sect-like' different opinions and perspectives.

This idea that the Roman group speaks with one voice and believes one truly truest true TRUTH is utter nonsense.

A gross deception of the worst order.
