The divisions are doctrinal. From my own doctrinal standpoint the Pope is the natural head of the Church but I, and many others, believe the Holy See is in error and therefore cannot be reconciled to Rome. The Pope claims the right of the absolute monarch with direct authority from God, further, he claims to speak the irrefutable word of God when he sits in the throne of Saint Peter.

As to organisation, most church bodies are organised as you describe, be it with Bishops or a more open polity.
I am a Christian, I'm just not very religious.

That organization is the first thing that came to my mind. It's not something I've spent time on. The issue is could it be done, should it be done and how, if the answer is positive to the first two questions. So, you're saying that it couldn't be done because of doctrinal issues. Well, there have been councils that tried to address doctrinal issues and it's not like it couldn't be done.

This is not about me saying how it should be done, I'm trying to start a discussion on that, hear what people think about that. So, your opinion is that it couldn't and shouldn't be done. Thank you for that.
