At 10am yesterday morning we were hearing that there were 41,000. How did we somehow managed to lose 6,000 of them so quickly? Can you tell us which of the 3,000 to 8,000 Catholic sects is correct? We know that they all can't interpret the Bible correctly, can they? At least 2,999 to 7,999 of them must be rejecting Christ's words!

And the reasoning there is not more is mainly due to the lack of doctrinal commitment in Catholicism overall. For while RCs differ with the official teaching of their church more than the average - and which Rome implicitly allows, thus testifying to what she really believes - her most manifest sects and divisions are among those who take doctrine the most seriously.

And the criticism of such, evidently out of love for their church, can rival that of evangelicals driven by love for Truth, while other RCs defend Rome against anything that slights her in the least.

Hi dan’l...

well I must say my young faithful protestant partner would heartily disagree with you.

When we are in a strange city and we have been in several around the world, we attempt to at least keep the Lord’s day and often morning Mass if I can. I have never had a problem finding a Catholic Church within 10 minutes or so from where we are working/staying. And believe me a Catholic would never go to a non-Catholic curch/sect for morning Mass.

He on the other hand has never found an Evangelical Free church anywhere near where we are.

I believe any Catholic on the forum will tell you the same.

But dream on.
