Our self pride interferes with this and God does not force us. This goes for those who profess to be Catholic and do not follow the teachings of the Church
Divisions are not of Christ.
Sure they are.. Jesus never for-bade forming clubs..
The Sheep Pens in John ch10.. testifies to that..
Jesus is the GATE and "some" follow his voice "OUT" of them..
BUT the sheep pens are pens for SHEEP.. NOT goats..
The metaphor is intact..
“I believe the Holy Spirit would guide us to the Catholic Church and we would all be united in one”
“I’d say that the Holy Spirit is involved in every perception of truth,”
So we all agree that the Holy Spirit leads individual believers, not just communities or special offices.
I think we’ll find that divisions were not and were of God.
There’s a few examples in the NT.
Regardless, Certainly God has been able to work to The Good of The Kingdom
And His highest will is for unity of Spirit & purpose in Christ’s Blood.
