“What I see, however, are, to pick a few examples, accusations of the Catholics being deceived into a cult by power-hungry priests, of ignorance and rejection of the Holy Scripture, and of idolatry.”

Sure, that kind of garbage is exactly the kind of thing that is not constructive -— and takes up 99% of inter-denominational dialog.

There is ample shared theology, and seldom discussed.
