I remain convinced that this is a deliberate attempt to drive traditional people out so that the liberals have the money, land, and platform all to themselves.
Well your theory may be correct, the only problem is, is that the churches they envelope decline and die.... the faithful either break off or leave.
The churches such as the presbyterian faiths where you don't have much formal structure are the most succeptable.
The more heirarchical churches are less so.. which is why they while having a nutjob priest here or there, don't have major debates or idiotic rulings.
It takes about 8 years of dedication and study for a Catholic to become a priest and be allowed a parish, let alone a bishop or archbishop... in the Presbytery you can be a pastor before you even have an associates degree... Can't "consecrate" the bread and wine.. which I find odd, since the presbytery doesn't believe in true transfiguration, I mean if its only symbolic what does it matter who does the act? And you don't have to live the faith, you don't live, eat and sleep your study and faith in cloister, just show up for class.... Which is why these faiths are being destroyed rapidly from within IMHO.
