And exactly what IS my "sect", since you seem to know so much? Doing a little mind reading? I could just as easily say the same of your cult.

Your sect is not Catholic or Orthodox (or a pretender of those wings of the Church).
Your sect, therefore, is de facto democratic.
Your sect chooses its leaders by popularity.
Who eventually tailor their doctrine so as to remain popular.
Otherwise they won’t have a congregation.
Your sect’s doctrine is subject to the veto of the membership.
And if you are a sect of one where you determine doctrines, then of course that is a most sinister and sad situation wherein your doctrine is always subject to your veto.
Your sect DOES vote on doctrine, which is why your sect loves birth control, despite the Church’s constant position against it.
Even the sects condemned birth control as against the bible until the silly Anglicans voted to change accept birth control as holy at Lambeth (c. 1920).
All the other sects followed suit - because apparently anti-biblical sex is just too much fun and the voters wanted to have more fun.
