U.S. Catholics and Protestants agree: they have more in common than not
Pew Research Center data show that many U.S. Protestants seem unaware of traditional positions.
The theological differences that led to the Protestant Reformation 500 years ago have since dwindled in both the United States and Western Europe.
That’s the finding of a Pew Research Center survey released in anticipation of the October commemorations of the 500th anniversary of the schism in western Christianity.
Among U.S. Protestants, many today seem unaware of the differences, voicing beliefs that are more traditionally Catholic than Protestant.
