@caekislove @NEETzsche @lccmv @FourOh-LLC If it was just a decentralized church and the doctrine was all solid, I would agree. We can have catholicity of faith without explicit communion in all cases, but a lot of these denominations don’t even believe in the real presence in the Eucharist; the center of all Christian worship. So I can’t really cosign division as a feature.

Neet is seething because he thinks everyone can be a spiritual Redditor like him, but that’s not how it works. If the hierarchy enforces something, as long as it’s not damaging the productive class, people are just going to go along with it. Animals naturally submit to hierarchy, and people are no different in this respect.
