[The Grammarian]

There are a number of places where I don't think reconciliation between Protestants and Roman Catholics is possible, but to paraphrase Hauerwas, one cannot be truly Protestant and not long for visible as well as spiritual unity among Christians. The essence of Protestantism is not simply that we are against Roman Catholicism, but also that we are for (pro testari) the true form of it.

As Lutherans state (and I think this applies to Protestants more generally), we don't abolish the Mass so much as maintain it in a more pure form: "we do not abolish the Mass, but religiously keep and defend it" (Augsburg Confession).

I personally don’t see a need for reconciliation on earth aside from all of us shaking hands at the occasional Christmas ecumenical service and saying, “See you in Heaven!”

Meaning we’ll be reconciled in Jesus so why worry about it here?

So WHICH one of the 30,000+ different Protestant denominations have the "true form of it" (Christian unity)?

It can't be ALL of them as they are so very different from each other. Some? A few? 14 of them? How many?
