Don’t you all remember when Jesus polled the 5,000 to see what they wanted Christian doctrines to be? /sarc/

How else does one know how to emulate Christ except by reading His teachings, and those who knew Him and could speak of him? Anything else is Gnosticism, and there is already too much of that among churchgoers today.
This is why it is so distressing that so many in the church, Catholic and Protestant alike, prefer the approval of the world to the approval of Christ.

So, they are Episcopalians, not Catholics? Not a real big surprise.

People assume the Bible is the Christian owner’s manual, because it is. The writings of those who knew Christ and were taught by Christ are the only way of conforming to Christ’s teachings. How else is one to know? Rely on feelings or their own understandings, even if those directly contradict clear scripture?

Episcopalians have all that. Join them, leave Catholicism alone.

survey? Yeah right. Ask the ones who are most vocal and want their agenda passed. Then ask the Catholics who don't attend church and get their theology from the NYTimes. Then ask the Catholics who attend church and never hear a sermon explaining the reason for these rules, or why erasing the sexes and making them interchangeable is not a good thing, or a sermon condemning fornication, birth control, or abortion and why the church has always followed the ten commandments which are against adultery and murder.
So ask the ignorant who only know secular propaganda. Don't ask the little old ladies in the pews, or the people who sneak out to the Latin mass when available, or even those who converted from a good Protestant church, because these people are too “rigid”.

It may be less of a schism and more of a morphing with regular parishes closing up (at a faster rate than they already are) and traditional chapels remaining. The Church will be much smaller, but that isn’t a projection; it is very much happening already.

The problem with your view, which is so common, is that earliest Christians had no Bible as we understand it — so clearly it is not essential. The Church in her infancy looked to apostolic witness, orally conveyed. The bible itself testifies to this, does it not?
