Is that why there are 33,000+ Protestant denominations unable to agree on the meaning of "plain speech"? You may not agree with us, but there are over a billion Catholics who seem to be able to agree on the meanings.

No, the Catholics don't agree with the meanings...The accept the meanings as they are told to...

By now, there are well over a hundred thousand Protestant denominations...

What you fail to recognize is that those who believe the scriptures have very few disagreements over it...It's those, like Catholics who don't believe what the scriptures say, or don't like what the scriptures say so they change it...That's where the majority of divisions come from...

But even then, unlike the Catholic religion, they are not important enough divisions to disqualify most from rightly being able to call themselves Christians...

"No, the Catholics don't agree with the meanings...The accept the meanings as they are told to..."

What complete crock of lunacy. Catholics freely accept the teachings of our Church or leave like some of the more ignorant anti-Catholics on FR. The difference is that we have the benefit of the greatest spiritual and theological minds in history working under the guidance of the Holy Spirit for nearly 2,000 years. On the other hand, Protestants have very low standards. Were the Protestant standards to be extrapolated to medicine or law Protestants would all die young and in prison.
