So . . . maybe I have this straight, now . . .
WHEN
the RC edifice wants to emphasize it’s authoritarian control over ALL of Christendom [from it’s perspective] . . . it emphasizes the fantasy that it has been in thorough going control from the moment Christ contrasted pebble Peter with The Rock Christ Jesus until this moment . . . no vagaries of doctrine and dogma . . . no great evils etc. . . . just a seamless pristine authoritarian control then to now.
WHEN the RC edifice wants to foster the fantasy that it’s a bumbling collection of extended family members stumbling through religious existentialism . . . it presents quite another picture entirely.
Are you trying to convince me that the RC edifice is schizophrenic?
Or plagued with a MPD—Multiple Personality Disorder?
Or is this all just convenient posturing of various fantasies and spun yarns for effect in differing contingencies?
