"1) You come to realize and accept that any time you let an ordinary man start a new Christian denomination and interpret scripture on their own, your church will inevitably have some errors on faith and morals."

You mean like the inquisition.

The Catholic Church was "wrong" about the inquisition the way Joseph McCarthy was "wrong" about the red scare. McCarthy was a nasty and self-agrandizing drunk but those of us who know the facts know he was right about communists infiltrating government, regardless of how the media has convinced the public otherwise.

The Catholic clergy at time resorted to cruel and overzealous measures, but they were right about crypto-Muslims infiltrating Spain at the time. I'd like to see what Protestants would have done if they had just taken back a country that had been under forcible Islamic rule for centuries.
