no problems all is good. Im sorry youre having trouble with the priest. even my friend who is catholic has one she likes better. I guess personality does come through in things. Its funny her other guy isnt like your but indifferent which is not so great.
Well, Im sure God will straighten things up. It is hard to be tough but still loving, I totally get you now. I always think of that old song the Gambler by Kenny Rogers. “You have to know when to hold em and when to fold em, walk away or run” Maybe not so reverent but it comes to my mind in those situations
As for the split, I didnt grow up in churches, I wasnt even sure what a protestant was, something to do with religion,

since here Ive figured it out.
But youre right if satan did cause the split then God will fix it. But then again there was problems as much as I can figure at that time and those problems were addressed and repaired.
So maybe the initial split wasnt satan but God getting people to talk, but because of the problems, satan was able to sow seeds of discontentent. Then because the problems took awhile to fix (Im guessing there) that discontent started and grew.
So that even when the initial problems were fixed. Things didnt go back to what they were. I imagine satan was in there like a dirty shirt thinking he had a good roll going.
If it took awhile for change then once things got set up in other churches people got used to the “new” way and didnt want to go back.
And everyones been bent out of shape since then.

Now, its so long ago someone like me really doesnt know much. What Ive said is based on what Ive heard people say about it.
All I can say is we are to love our neighbour as ourselves and in that is the answer. Who knows maybe the only time we will reconcille is when Jesus returns?
My bro-in-law says if we all unite now then it will be a false church spoken about in rev. So if people feel that way then they will be terrified to reunite. So that would toss out alot of protestants wanting to join the catholic church as you hope, for that fear.
The catholic church keeps saying come home, but to alot of people it simply doesnt mean anything. They are home, its all they have known, its really a call to move to another home.
And as far as I can see with people they only go to another church home if they dont like their current one.
So, I dont know but the only practical way to unite at this point is to understand each other and be one in Christ, even if not in form of service to Him.
Im NOT saying this is good, just the way it seems.
Although I do know if God wants a change, He will sort us out, of that I have no doubt.

any of this make sense??
