Do you honestly believe that the Holy Spirit would want people to be divided into thousands of different splinter groups of protestant denominations with various beliefs opposite with each other all claiming to be guided by the Holy Spirit?
This seems to be a God of confusion.
Who do you think wants confusion?
A deceiver.

Is it that RC's have more faith in their assembly and it's ability to dominate all other believers than the power of God to unite all believers by the Holy Spirit?
Gal. 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Anyone with the indwelling Holy Spirit is my brother in Christ. That is a unity created by God Alone.
The history is very clear how man made unity worked. During the period that the Roman church had the power of the state behind it, any Christian church that was not willing to submit to Roman domination once the independent Christian Church grew large enough it was considered a threat and the Roman church would attempt to destroy it. It is especially note worthy that no matter how hard the Roman church tried it was never successful in destroying all these various Christian Churches. In the end reformers from within the Roman church recognized the serious errors and when they attempted reform they were dealt with in the same way. The blessing of which was the Reformation.
The Reformation led to the Scriptures being spread far and wide and THE GOSPEL being preached to all. My religious ancestors did not come from the Roman church, but those that did are my brothers in Christ and the unity we have is unbreakable.
