...so here's what I can see has happened after almost 3,400 posts on this thread. We've been up, down, around and through beliefs of the RCs and Proddys. We have posted catechism, doctrines, traditions, dogmas, etc. word for word, given references and even page numbers to our posts. We have searched linked, studied, compared, and discussed every topic known to each side.

And still, with all that, I've come away with the same things we started with. There is a chasm which separates us which no amount of "unity" or "ecumenacalism" can overcome, unless we just give up our beliefs and follow for the sake of getting along.

With only two exceptions. Mary is "venerated", not "worshiped" by Catholics. That is so thin as to not be worthy of normal conversation. And Proddys are considered "separate brethren" by Catholics, not saved with the fullness that Catholics will enjoy.

Two things. And that is being kind. Can anyone add anything else they have learned that they did not know when this thread began?
