actually Is....

there is only 10% separating me as a Catholic and you as a protestant.

lets say that you and I agree that there is only ONE TRUTH,

and that you and a disparate group of your fellow protestants in a bible study group decide one particular Scriptural text, that may be open to discussion,

throughout the evening everyone in turn gets to standup and give their opinion on exactly what that passage means, but...

you end up with 10 quite different interpretations of that passage....

now since you know you bible text and since that passage happens to be one you have studied long and hard, you could probably assume that, since there is only one truth, you are the only ONE in TEN with the correct interpretation, so you could say only 10% of the room had the truth.

Now if I looked in and heard your interpretation, of course as a Catholic, I would consider your interpretation to be wrong, 0 in 10 and mine to be right.

Therefore, voila, we are only 10% apart!

Here is where I would stick in a smiley face but Elsie didn’t show me how to do that, yet!
