Here is a link to an article I read awhile back in reference to that subject:

What divides Catholics and Protestants?

However, as is pointed out on page 2:

Differences aside, Protestants and Catholics do share several core beliefs including the Trinity, the deity of Jesus, and the fact that he was sinless, that he died on the cross for man’s sin and rose from the dead and ascended to heaven.

Given that the core beliefs are the same, I don't understand why the two can't just coexist without all of the judgemental attitude...and sometimes, outright arrogance...coming in to play.

I couldn't agree more, and I always try and tread lightly on this forum. However, both sides firmly believe they are right, and then egos and the anonymity of the internet lead to what you see before you.

There are some whose purpose here seems to be repeated posting of falsehoods about the Catholic Church. Since the false nature of the various claims has been demonstrated over and over, those falsehoods are now knowingly false, i.e.: lies.

RE: “I don’t understand why the two can’t just coexist”

If the pope renounces the “anathemas” from Trent and starts teaching that salvation is by grace alone through faith alone we might get somewhere.

I know what you mean. I haven't read the article that you linked to, but I do know that there is only one true Church, the bride of Christ. I also believe that there is only one way to Christ, confession and repentence from sin. However, I also believe that there are many members of the true Church both inside and outside of Catholicism. There are also many both inside and outside who are not.
