Differences in governance or preferences in governance do not equate to theological differences.
Why do Catholics demand lockstep interpretation of Scripture by non-Catholics and yet don’t demand it of themselves for either Scripture or the CCC?
The individual is led into truth by the Holy Spirit. If you don’t trust Him to do the job or think He’s capable of it, then you will never be led into it and you’ll be forever without it.
What Catholics demand means nothing.
Please read John 17 and see what the heart of Jesus demands, this I would think counts for something. The peace of the Church is important so the world ( unbelievers ) will know Jesus was sent from the Father.
Paul emphasizes the importance of this unity in Faith and the Eucharist in 1 Corinthians.
What prevents unity? The heart of man is desperately wicked and pride. Man wants to believe what seems right to them, and after they determine that, they use the Holy Spirit when in reality it was their own sinful mind.
The Scriptures tell us in latter days some will leave the faith ...........
