Protestantism is, unfortunately, something that will inevitably shatter into a million pieces. Each person picks the thing that he likes best and makes it the keystone of his faith. If he’s a powerful and convincing person, then he gets others to go along, and soon this fragment of the truth has been exalted as being the Truth itself. And then somebody else finds a fragment of the truth he likes better...and so forth.

When we talk about the destruction of unity, we’re not talking about merely the destruction of an external, formal unity, but about the destruction of the unity of doctrine. And that is the fundamental problem of Protestantism and the theory behind it (and behind any and all of its multitude of spin-offs and spin-offs of spin-offs).

I believed that the Reformation represented a return to the biblical freedom from which the Roman Catholic Church had slipped into bondage.

No, not even close. Luther and the others just put lipstick on a pig. They didn't go nearly far enough.

Without a doubt the sin of the reformers was why Jesus prayed so fervently for unity. The division caused by these wayward children of the Church just adds to the wounds that Christ suffered for our sins.
