The issue is contradiction. Doctrines do evolve.
There is
AS MUCH CONTRADICTION
between the different factions within the RC church
as there are between different Protesty congregations.
Smothering contradictions over with edifice, traditions, magicsterical, ritual etc. does not wipe them away.
Nor does denial.
Doctrines do evolve.
= = =
IF
as is so emphatically asserted [though factually false]
the early fathers and the 400 years later Roman magicsterical
GOT ALLLLLLLLL THE DOCTRINES 100% CORRECT
WHY
on earth would there be evolving doctrines???
So, now we have rubber Bible, rubber dictionary, rubber history
and . . . . drum roll . . .
rubber doctrines!

AGAIN, I assert that probably all Protesty denominations and most congregations at one time or another have been guilty of such. The issue is not are Protesty's more human than RC's or vice versa.
The issue, for me, is, that the RC edifice is FAR from MORE holy or righteous than Biblical Protesty denominations. And assertions to the contrary are in denial of a long list of historical facts.
And ragingly hypocritical pontifications are hardly a solid foundation for anything good.
