Well, I have multitudes testifying to Catholics being far more liberal and disunified on the street-level where is counts , than "Bible Christians."

And rather than assuring unity, the magisterial office can make things worse, or at least make latent disagreements more evident. As one poster wryly puts it,

The last time the church imposed its judgment in an authoritative manner on "areas of legitimate disagreement," the conservative Catholics became the Sedevacantists and the Society of St. Pius X, the moderate Catholics became the conservatives, the liberal Catholics became the moderates, and the folks who were excommunicated, silenced, refused Catholic burial, etc. became the liberals. The event that brought this shift was Vatican II; conservatives then couldn't handle having to actually obey the church on matters they were uncomfortable with, so they left. ” (Nathan, http://www.ratzingerfanclub.com/blog/2005/05/fr-michael-orsi-on-different-levels-of.html

Trad. Caths want to call their liberal brethren excommunicated, but Rome manifestly considers them members in life and in death, while it seems conservatives are more liklely to be marginalized by the "hippies" pope. At least according to what we see via the FR RC news service.

Meanwhile it seems that RCs are the ones having a hard time trying to recruit help. Must be because of a high employment level. Or they know better.
