imho,
the history of the RC fossilized edifice has been for many centuries of the last 20
a process of repeatedly evolving new dogmas, doctrines
for virtually purely political power mongering reasons.
The faithful get bored with; habituated to the old ones such that the hierarchy’s power over the individual through such twisted dogmas and doctrines of demons and doctrines of man weakens—intolerably—to the RC elites.
And, so successive iterations of new dogmas keep the faithful always paying attention to and kowtowing to the MAGICsterical—a major control mechanism.
That’s one reason, imho, that the MARY AS CO-REDEMPTRIX heresy is even now, in our era, winding it’s way up to a new “INFALLIBLE” doctrine for the faithful to agree with and support—God forbid.
This gives us the silly spectacle of RC folks who !!!!TRADITIONALLY!!!! INSIST that the RC edifice’s doctrines and dogmas have been a consensual 100% homogenized whole from the moment John stopped writing Revelation until now—THOUGH HISTORY CLEARLY SHOWS STARKLY OTHERWISE.
So, we have some RC folks promulgating and pontificating adoringly about Mary as Co-Redemptrix and others rightly noting that said new dogma/doctrine has NOT been passed as a new RC edifice construction on reality for the faithful to all adhere to . . .
YET!
LOL. ROTFLOL. GTTM.
Sigh.

Yes. God forbid. Our job is to preach the Gospel in truth and love, confident that God will enlighten whom He wills when He wills. I take a lot of comfort in the fact that..."For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you." -- 1 Corinthians 11:19
God willing, more and more will have the scales scrapped from their eyes and they will know the perfectly accomplished atonement by Christ risen from the cross.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols." -- 1 John 5:20-21 "And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Sometimes I think little children could keep that instruction better than we adults since children are so single-minded. And as regards our salvation, that's exactly how we are to be -- saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone according to the will of God alone and revealed to us by the Holy Spirit alone through Scripture alone.
