I stopped right there.
Using the words "Church" and "Pope" synonymously tells me plenty.
The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ. It is also the "Bride of Christ" as St. Paul tells us. Do I need to post the Scripture?
If the Church "isn't always right" then Christ is a liar.
Well?
No.
I think you are brainwashed.
The point I was making is that the Church makes mistakes from time to time just like every other human institution.
The Church has been all over the map on celibacy. Although I am no fan of the current Pope, he has made the following points about celibacy:
1) The policy is considered a discipline, not a dogma or a doctrine.
2) The policy was instituted many centuries after the founding of the Church.
3) The policy is always subject to change.
All true of course. And I would like to add the policy is not universally applied.
