128. Actually Fundies and Catholics have a lot more in common than

other non fundi Protestants.
Fundamentalists and Catholics believe that some person "above" them should tell them what the will of God is and how to interpret the bible.
Mainline Protestants who are liberal or moderate believe that they can interpret scripture and have a direct relationship to God.
So when a Pastor is not a good fit a congregation can fire her and get another.
It is like the difference between a democracy and a monarchy.
