No, it doesn't solve, but calling someone else names like "toe kisser" or "finger frothers" or affiliates doesn't get me listening.
Solving doctrinal issues means hard nosed, yet civil debating or we will close our minds to each other.
And Christian Unity is more about focusing on what we DO agree on -- Christian unity is important in our struggle with secularism (gay marriage, abortion, euthanasia etc) and Islam.

And Christian Unity is more about focusing on what we DO agree on Pretending that we don't disagree or pretending that it doesn't matter doesn't do service to the Gospel and isn't real unity. See the Father and Jesus' unity for example.

These issues are antithetical to all Christians and can be addressed without a false ecumenism.
