If I didn't disagree with the Roman church I would be a part of it. Personally, I know far too many Christians that smear the Catholic church is ways that turn my stomach. For one, they are just wrong on many things and it shows me they haven't even spent a few hours to learn for themselves. They have instead listened to things other preachers have said, likely also in ignorance.
Most Christians I know(including myself) know even less about the Eastern churches. I'm not Orthodox either so obviously I have points of disagreement or further learning there.
What I really find distasteful is the ignorance of our own churches failures. The bloodshed and divisions. The scandals. None of us are perfect. I find it appalling that we protestants (myself included) are so ignorant of our own history and division. I truly believe this attitude is the work of our real enemy Satan. I don't want to smooth over the differences but I do want us all to love our brothers and sisters more than our own rightness.
Its hard for me to judge if things are getting worse or getting better.
I actually tend to feel that the internet has made things better since you can see so many online debates now... and many times you realize the differences, while real, are not the massive gulfs that you might assumed existed.
Most of the time its semantics -- specific definitions involving isolated phrases.
