I was driving my son to Boy Scout Camp, he was off to a religious retreat for the weekend. While Boy Scouts prides itself in accepting all religions, this camp only had activities for Protestants and Catholics. Even that was generous, as it was at a retreat center sponsored by the Arch Diocese. So on the ride, "What is the difference between Catholics and Protestants", he asked. I responded, "Do you want the long answer or the short one?", "The short one." I told him, "Catholic is latin for universal, and the powers of the time decided to form one church and called it the Universal Church, later on, some disagreed that there was only one way and protested, and formed other churches, they are the Protest-ant Churches."
The truth of the matter is that I find many Catholics that are quite mystical in their belief systems, and much more liberal than the furher fundamental Protestants... the lines definitely blur.
