My point is that Luther’s non-biblical doctrine of Sola Scriptura has resulted in countless, often contradicting, interpretations and denominations, in opposition to Christ’s desire for Christian unity.

At most, all Protestants may hold a handful of doctrines in common, and of those Sola Scriptura is erroneous.

In contrast, the Catholic Church, the Church that Christ founded, offers a rich and non-contradictory body of Sacred Teaching that can be found on-line in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

My point is that that claim is false. There is more agreement among differing Baptist denominations and other more bible based denominations by far than within the one giant umbrella of the RCC. Also that claim allows for all sorts of cults to be called Christian.

I see very much similarity in Mormonism and the RCC. In both there is a rejection of the simplicity of the bible and a more interesting, to man, doctrine is derived from some of the names and truths plagerized from the bible. The Mormon source is Joe and the RCC source is "because we said so".

"Because we said so" has far more influence than the things written in the bible.

So why do us bible thumpers care about you RCs?

"Who is made to stumble and I don't burn with indignation".

Anyone using the Lord's name should know the truth about Him and not be distracted by old wives fables about a woman who is claimed to be His mother.

Which the Catholic revers as Sola Scriptura to the rejection of Canon
