Catholics have unity alright. They’re all uniformly wrong, according to FRoman Catholics.
They have a bigger issue than *disunity* of beliefs from church to church or parishioner to parishioner.. They have whole churches full of people who are being taught things that the Vatican allegedly does not teach, that is allegedly (in some cases) not “official” church doctrine.
You can’t even get Catholics on this forum to agree about that little book Quix posted about Mary.
However, when you can find two passages within the Catechism of the Catholic Church which make diametrically opposite claims, you can tell any non-Catholic that they’re *wrong* about any church doctrine.
Jesus Christ is fully God.
Jesus Christ is fully Man.
Oh, and unity does not equal uniformity, just in case that was what you were implying.

I don't think they are 'uniformly' wrong . . . it's too convoluted and too much of a hodge-podge bunch of accusations and counter accusations amidst them . . . welll . . . not always accusations . . . claims and counter claims as to what is precisely orthodox . . . small wonder given the rather messy and massive Catechism.
The Catholic church for the most part is composed of societal Catholics.. where the faith is a family tradition.. those tend to be non attenders or "Sunday Catholics". On any given Sunday the church will be full of cafeteria catholics that pick and choose what they want to believe and are about as subject to Rome as you and I are..
Most Catholics are their own pope ...
So it breaks me up when they try to tear apart Evangelicals for having some doctrinal differences. We might bicker about the order of salvation , but we hold 80 or 90 % of our doctrine in common.. our differences have nothing to do with our faith in Christ alone, the center of our faith.
