Considering that modern Christian* sects argue about this very sort of thing *all the time,* I see no reason why similar sorts of doctrinal disputes can't be used to flavor the West. Within any of the Western cultures, I imagine there are minor local differences in interpretation of various laws and strictures, viewed with various degrees of disinterest and alarm by the centralized churches... (The priest of XYZ wear white vestments even on St Gerlant's Day! They must be heretics! Or worse....)
