Catholics/Unity

Question
Why is it so important for catholics to have unity in theology but not in liturgy? If you can accept different liturgies of the churches why not also accept their theology instead of trying to have them beleiving in your theology?

Answer
In traditional Catholicism, there is unity in liturgy, that is, in the Traditional Latin Mass of the Roman Rite, with very few exceptions.  This is the precedential rite of the true Church.  (Of course, we are not talking here about the Novus Ordo services, which are not part of the Catholic Church, but of the Newchurch of the New Order.)
