that’s a special expertise that has uniquely characterized Protestant theology from its infancy, which is why there are countless denominations ranging from straight-laced Baptists, to snake-handling Pentecostals, to those with female pastors who champion the cause of Planned Parenthood and gay rights.

Would you care to list out all the various "rites," schisms and occult hybrids that are tolerated with a wink and a nod in the Caribbean and South America, while you're at it? Is Roman Catholicism not in fact in schism from the Eastern Orthodox? They believe so, if I'm not mistaken

So, I'd say hubris in that regard is not particularly advisable but that doesn't seem to prevent it.

You’re being facetious, right? The Orthodox schism I believe occurred in the 10th century. And as for the various liturgical variations, etc. within the Body of Christ, they are acceptable or rejected by the Church depending on their acceptance or rejection of the doctrines of the faith. And so it has been for 17 centuries.
