dissensus

noun /dɪˈsɛn.səs/

  1. Disagreement, especially when widespread.

    uncountable

    Now it is apparent that neither the consensus of Christianity with other religions, nor its dissensus from them, nor the absolute or relative superiority which we claim for it, can be made evident without a thorough and methodical comparison of all religions.

Where it comes from

From Latin dissēnsus (“disagreement, quarrel; dissension, conflict”); or a blend of dissent + consensus.
