[BelegStrongbow]

It is not at all that kind of doctrine and that comment is surely a put-down.

And, perhaps it is settled doctrine for you, given the Pope has declared it mandatory of Roman Catholics, but it is not in the least settled for anyone else.

Which would mean it is not settled.

In Christ,

Does your bit of the Christian vine really do doctrine by saying "X is okay with me, but not okay with him, and we're okay with that"? That's not the Church. That's a Love-In with Yoko Ono.

And that is assuredly not the Anglicanism of the great Caroline Divines my Catholic Grandfather had me read (Lancelot Andrewes & Co.) who would have chewed you up (and me too for that matter) in a New York minute.
