But, you already agreed that rites are not basically theologically different. They are more geographical and culturally different.

And such is the difference between most Evangelical denominations, yet that's not good enough for most Catholics.

Catholics on this forum have clearly expressed that they expect us to agree lockstep with each other, in which case there would be one massive denomination.

The fact that there's not they read to mean that there's something like 20,000 different interpretations of Scripture and it's a flaw and weakness of Protestantism, when the same degree of disparity between Catholic rites is lauded as a strength of Catholicism.

IOW, it's blatant and blinding hypocrisy. They have two standards they apply as it fits to make Catholicism look good and Protestantism to not look good.

Gee, which "Evangelical Rite" do you attend metmom? 😂 It's always about anything other than Christ - Mary, Catholicism, Rites, communion, candles, robes, worship of statues, and on and on.
