There are five doctrinal areas that separate Roman Catholics from evangelical Protestants.
authority
justification
Mariology
sacramentalism and the mass
religious pluralism
There are also similarities, particularly between conservative Catholics and conservative fundamentalist Protestants.
I would like to discuss Catholicism and Protestantism in a general discussion...keeping our focus contained in the general beliefs of these two religions.
Are there irreconcilable differences or are there minor interpretations that are unimportant? If so, why is there still a split after 500 years?
Faith/Belief, please.
