>Catholicism has a perceived premium on scholasticism and tradition
>Orthodoxy has a perceived premium on mysticism and a different version of that same tradition
>Lutheranism/Calvinism have a perceived premium on purity
Why can't there be a tradition that possesses all three? Why must schism muddy and complicate things to the point of absurdity?

"He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.6We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth."

Isaiah 53:4-7

I can understand why this isn't read in sinagogues lol
