The Inquisitorial Catholics and the Protestants

Idea that all christians would converge on a single doctrine is not yet complete. What is needed, but sorely lacking, is an impartial judge who could adjudicate rival claims of catholics, lutherans, dutch reformed anabaptists and so on. In the absence of such a judge, it is inevitably the group that has numerical or political superiority which determines which s are acceptable and which heretical. Given this situation, it would behoove all parties to refrain from compulsion and coercion in matters of religion.
