I wasn't aware the New Testament was written in 1003.

For all your flaming, you aren't very good at reading. This is likely caused by going into a debate with a fixed point of view, and any verified, quantified and qualified dispute (with scriptural references) is not met with due consideration, but as a personal affront. This is not the mark of an intelligent man.

So, instead of getting mad and hurling insults; re-read and ponder. My dates are when the 'unchanging' Catholic church underwent a substancial 'change'. Although the New Testament was made available to the Catholic Church (and ONLY the Catholic Church) and would remain so for several centuries yet to come, the Catholic church did not adopt one of the central themes of the New Testament until 1003.

Several of the changes in the Catholic church have absolutely NOTHING to do with the will of God, but of the will of man. I found nothing about Nun's and their habit, Transmortification or Supererogation in any book of the New Testament. If anything is a man-made ordinance, used for the sole purpose to corrupt the will of God, ignore the sacrifice of Jesus; that would be Supererogation.

Doesn't the fact that the only person in existance (the Pope) has an infinite supply of 'grace' from deceased Saints, that he can sell - at will- or dispense as he 'sees fit' to any sinner, for any reason, bother you that it 'might' be used for the Pope's (ie. Church's) personal gain? You know, I've read quite a bit of the New Testament and Old Testament; and I can't find one reference that even hints that Christ could/would do this.

Luke 13:1-5 (paraphrased) Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish
Mark 7: 7-13 (paraphased) "But vainly do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men."
