Protestantism came from an attempt to reform the Catholic church; it was not meant to be a separate thing until the reformers were excommunicated. You shouldn’t think about Catholicism as necessarily separate from reformed traditions i. e. protestantism. It is clear from what Jesus said that church unity is good, so, if Christians were more united on doctrine, the world would be better IMO.
Differentiating from others is not a core value of Catholicism. Contrarily, it’s claiming to be the default way of Christianity, which is expressed by the “catholic” in the name. Catholicism claims to continue by apostolic succession from Peter by an appointment of Jesus. So, if top Catholics realize that justification by faith alone is an idea from Jesus spread by the original apostles, it is fitting to accept that officially.
I think that the point of the original post is highly unrealistic, but I wrote this because it seems that you miss the point of Catholicism.
I don’t have any experience with it, so I can’t recommend anything, but I thank you for the notice of it; out was interesting to read about it on Wikipedia.
Right. But monospacedness is not a requirement for programming fonts. So I often promote proportional fonts for programming because they are better IMO. I mean that variable width allows fonts more potential to be good at what I want from fonts, not that every proportional font of better.
Ideally, texture healing would distribute the resizing over the whole word, so it would look better and be used in more cases. But that is not possible with OpenType fonts as far as I know.
Commit Mono has smart kerning, which is similar, but it only shifts, not morphs, the shapes. So it avoids that the same letter looks differently in different places. It also works on triplets, not just pairs, so it is more widely applicable. See this comparison.
I Like Input Sans for programming. iA Writer Quattro is similar to that. Now, I use for programming Recursive, a variable font with variable monospacedness among others. It has a configurator where all axes and features can be fixed for better compatibility.
I prefer original Comic Sans. How Comic Mono has all characters forced to the same width makes it uglier and less readable, especially capital letters.
I suggest that you edit the formatting. You have every verse in a separate paragraph, which is space-inefficient and hard to read. I think that you should use plain line breaks between verses. That increases readability and adds one level to the visual hierarchy, so you can have paragraphs of verses.
If you end a line with two spaces (at least it you edit in Markdown), the line break is kept in the result. Example (Notice spaces at ends of lines.):
Roses are red; violets are blue. Paragraphs visually separate, which line breaks don't do.
