As a passing-by comment: I find it incomprehensible that RCs think having a “priest” ordained (or whatever it may be called within the RCC) gives him standing/power/whatever required for the spiritual magic known as transubstantiation. “Blessing” the bread and wine by the proper human empowers Christ to become food particles?

I didn’t know humans had the potential to restrain or constrain God.

No.

Only if He grants it.

Suppose your child[ren] want to give you a birthday present. They say, "Papa, don't open your eyes until we say you can, promise?"

And you say,"I promise."

Then what if I said, "I didn't know children had the potential to restrain or constrain their parents."

I'm not making an entire case out of this. I'm just saying that what looks like constraint or restraint might be what the people involved think is more like children trusting their Father to keep His Word.
