Protestants seem to be aware of the problems surrounding doctrinal differences. However lately their response has been to more or less declare doctrine unimportant as some man-made thing and emphasize oneness in Christ. It's a strange thing to see in a historical context and can only be a product of modern indifference. Hence why non-denominationalism has become so popular.
Catholics are not immune from this ecumenist sentiment just because they have hierarchal authority. The pope has done quite a bit to liberalize the Church. The mass frequently resembles a Protestant service more than a liturgy.

Protestants "love" division, Christianity condemns it. The "Biblical worldview" is a serious problem and the path through which Relativism (we're all right), Agnosticism (No one is right, but me), and Fundamentalism (Everyone is wrong, but me) came through.
Christianity is not defined by a couple of men with their Bibles. Christian doctrine is not defined by private interpretations. It is defined by authorities. If it weren't, then there would be no such thing as a Biblical Worldview because there would be no Bible.
Yes, this is a crucial question. If doctrine is unknown, then our salvation is unknown. We cannot know Christ without grace to know. This happened to all followers of Christ, but people came along claiming they had authority when they had none. Individuals will always have opinions, but the difference between a dogma and and a private interpretation is authority.

What is sound doctrine?
Where in the 66 books of the Bible does it say there are only 66 books? What Bible verse can you point to that says James’ letter is God breathed?
