A lot of it was also about nationalism and biblical authority

Yeah and authority of the pope
If I may ask, what denomination are you?
Roman Catholic
Ah very nice, I occasionally consider becoming Catholic
Yo have an impressive understanding, maybe we could learn a little from each other. Are you non-denom rn?
Most certainly not, I am Presbyterian. It’s okay to be low church to an extent but if you just do whatever then you risk heresy
My hold up on being catholic is my view on the Bible holding more authority then the church, though I do hold that the church has authority
In Catholicism, the Church does not claim more authority than the Bible, but it does teach that Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition are equal in authority, and both are interpreted authentically by the Magisterium (the teaching authority of the Church).
