It's kind of like American Catholics.. They, by and large, do NOT believe in EVERY tenet of what comes from the Vatican. I never knew that many Catholics (myself included) who, if pressed, would say that the Pope was, and I quote "God's chosen representative" on earth. The Church is at odds with American beliefs in contraception just to pick one particularly easy topic.
But as often as I saw articles on the possibility of a split with American Catholics forming their own Church, it never happened and I don't think it will for the forseeable future.
