I wish they would stop fighting with one another ...I assume they are trying to tell the same story but why does it come out in so many versions?

When you say 'tired of Catholicism and Protestantism?' do you mean when people emphasize 'Catholicism and/or Protestantism,' rather than Christianity as a whole?
If the answer is 'yes,' then I say yes to the question.
Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love the Catholic faith(I identify myself as Catholic or Christian, interchangeably), but, the thing is, all the religions in the world are divided into smaller groups, & yet, it is the divisions only within Christianity that so often get emphasized.

The devil is the spirit of Division.
One can send a thousand away, TWO can send 10 Thousand.
The Power goes up by 10 everytime you add a Believer in the Prayer.
Thats why the Devil Separates us Believers with Religion.
All Religions are False.
Religion cannot Recreate your Spirit (Save you).
Jesus can Recreate you (a Spirit) which Saves you.
Jesus is Reality. Not Religion.

ANGEL FEAST DAY TODAY.
Indeed, those who are spiritually gifted and exhibit great kindness often are accompanied by the mysterious aroma of sanctity -- an odor that is like a combination of lilies and roses which sweetens spiritually.
We have witnessed this phenomenon a number of times, especially around the famous Catholic stigmatic named Maria Esperanza-- whose very family was an emblem of patience, kindness, and love. To be in their presence was to feel inexplicable joy for hours after.
Joy comes from kindness and is the emotion of the miraculous.
How do we know that? Well, look at what a miracle does; first and foremost, it brings joy. It lifts our spirits. It’s a taste of Heaven.
Kindness opens a portal into the hereafter and through that portal come wonders. God loves to surprise those who are kind, and often He does this through angels.

There is some truth in all christian faiths, even those who go directly against Christ's teachings to condemn other sects of Christian faith. Christ Himself said; " if they are not against us, then they are with us". We have also been told to seek truth and right where ever it can be found. Which is to say, the bible is not the only place where truth and right can be found. If it is positive and uplifting it is of God. What is negative and beguiling is of Satan. We believe in worshiping almighty God according to the dictates of our own conscience, and allowing all men the same privilege. let them worship how, when and what they may.

Quit talking about Christianity and show me what it is. get off your computer and go visit the inner city. find jesus in one of them, and feed him and show him how much you love him.
A Unique Man once said:
They will know you are my disciples by the love you have for one another. I go to the father, and my love I leave with you, my spirit. I leave my self with you, because you are my friends, and you are my freinds because you have and are doing what I told you. and this is what I told you, love one another with the love I have for you. No greater love has a man than this; that he lay down his life for his friends. whatever you do to the least of these my friends, my brothers, you've done the same unto me.

Nicholas,
John Fox had another name for it, he called it the Reformed.
Do you understand the necessity for the Reformed, or Protestant movement? There were many of them persecuted by the Roman Catholic Church. Thousands died for their faith. They were even persecuted for having a Bible. So there is much that went into that name.
But I am not saved because I am a Protestant. I am saved because I trust God for His promises through Jesus Christ.

If you are a follower of Christ...friendly admonition: wise not to ask questions that will encourage dissension. In plain language: don't offer an invitation for people to tear at each other!

OK the Catholic Church denounced itself ... no wait, that doesn't make any sense.
