Regarding IC, an interesting history. Yet not compelling enough to be dogma? It took another 300 odd years? What was the discovery or revelation that elevated the practice? Since Scripture was there, it could not have been the source.

The diversity of basic dogma does not exist within The Church -- we have a basic, common, CATHOLIC understanding of dogma

And yet members persist in their own interpretations, CINOs if you will, some of them without penalty.

[Cronos]

Rigid dogma is only declared when there are cries calling out for the veracity of two opposing view. Example, all the councils were called to handle opposing viewpoints that were breaking up The Church. Now, the concept of IC is part of the Eastern ORthodox's tradition and has been since Ireneus at least. This was not new but dates back to the Early Christians.

CINOs may oppose the Church on disciplinary isses -- if they oppose it on dogmatic issues, they are truly CINOs -- Catholics in name only.
