This is a profound insight that will make my burden as an adult convert lighter, as my discovery of the theological and spiritual nightmare that was the pre-Vatican II church was less than enlightening. 
     I still doubt the justification of religious apartheid based on church membership and denomination. We may not be ready for formal unification, and it may not even be a good idea-but there is something truly catholic (small "c") in the spiritual reference, yet it was the reason for the Reformation. 
    Taking sides is again to miss the point. One can be Catholic and encounter God. From the vantage point of grace the true riches of the Catholic faith are found, where making faith a matter of meritocracy is to impoverish oneself spiritually and betray the real tradition. 
    The implications are enormous for the divisions within Christianity and without. But this is nothing  new. The Gospel has been around for a long time.
