While many will deny it, it teems under the surface. When one church claims to be the true Church, and one claims that the other worships idols...there is little room for negotiation. Vatican has tried to appease protestants by calling them "communities" that do have some truth to them.

In some areas yes, in other areas no. Its all very disturbing.
There is a demonic movement within "the church" called ecumenicism.
This is a move by satan to prepare for the one world religion.
Thus it should be avoided. But not true unity in Christ, which that movement is avoiding. so the unity is centered on the wrong things. Its centered not on Christ but on tolerance. When Jesus said He was the only way to heaven and gave us the Bible for our doctrines, some churches reject Biblical truth. Some incorporate tradition, others incorporate societies sins like homosexuality. Such transgressions should not be ignored and tolerated.
Then there are some churches which do neither, and are involved in the pride of exclusivism of their own church rather than exclusivism in Christ. Such churches say their church is the only real church and the only people going to heaven.
Then of coarse you have some churches which have a mixture of all of the above. And Roman Catholocism is bad in that. They are excluvisim as well as ecunimical. I think thats a really bad combination.

good questions i've yet to meet any catholics that actually know anything about their religion's history, not saying their aren't any, but due to the fact, that many ppl who were for the most part Protestants were brutally murdered by the catholic church during the trail of blood and martyring i'd understand why there would be tension.
But i'd doupt that many catholics would even know of the bloody history behind the founding of the catholic church . i don't hold tension, i'm not catholic but a Christian and yes thinking of it makes me cringe, but i pray for them for their salvation just like anyone else.

The Jehovah's Witnesses are a reaction against the Catholics. virtually all the converted JW's seem to be former Catholics. yet even with all protests otherwise the Jehovah's Witnesses are organizationally with regard to an analogous because of the fact the Catholics. quite some the themes referred to are superficial ones alongside with church homes have residing house windows or the Catholic artwork interior the church which they view as idolatry. yet isn't it confusing for the Jehovah's Witnesses to accuse others of idolatry whilst their founder is buried appropriate by a pyramid? the relationship between Catholics and Jehovah's Witnesses is definitely an exciting one. Seeing their solutions listed under are much extra exciting. that's merely like watching an rather comparable father and son argue over moot factors. that's obtrusive that the baby faith, the Jehovah's Witnesses, desperately needs to be merely like their father, the Catholics.

I do not think so among Catholics and Protestants. Catholics will always say that they are the first church, but that does not make them only one true church.
There is more tension between cults who claim to be Christians like JWs and Mormons, and historical Christians who believe in Trinity.

There is tension because many organizations do not follow the Bible. We are told in the Bible this time was coming and it is here. People do not care what the Bible says as long as they feel their heart beating in their chest. Their chest is more important than God or His word.

Some people dont consider each of the other denominations of Christianity "saved", but it is not as big of a problem as it once was. It is still a problem though.

Religion is about power over people. If you are the head of a section of people, you don't want them drifting away to be told what to do by some other power crazed loony. Imagine Arsenal luring away Chelsea's supporters. No, don't. It can't happen.

There always will be. Just look at Northern Ireland. Luckily the bloodshed has stopped there ... for now.
