I've had plenty of experience with Evangelical churches and Catholic churches, and it is certainly true that there is MUCH more diversity of belief among Catholics than there is among Protestants. The stream of dissent in American Catholic parishes is deep and wide, and it is often led by priests or, more commonly, religious sisters. I once worshipped for five years or so at a suburban Boston parish with about 1200 people at Mass on Sunday. If they had been Evangelicals, there would have been so much shaking of dust off of sandals that they would have formed 50 new and different churches by the time I left. It cracks me up every time a Catholic poster here declares that all Catholics, or even most Catholics, believe the same thing. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Indeed, Profess does not even necessarily equate to believe, while what they profess is variegated beliefs. Then trad. RCs condemn divisions among evangelicals while they themselves must engage in the same.

Then trad. RCs condemn divisions among evangelicals while they themselves must engage in the same.

Rather ironic that they celebrate diversity among themselves and yet still claim to be in communion with each other, and yet when those outside Catholicism are diverse, RC's are condemning it as being an indication the error of *sola Scriptura* and it's proof that Protestantism is not the OTC.
