If it is that simple, then point me to the Official Church teaching.
I did.
And what difference does official church teaching mean if the local parishes teach something different?
And besides, that’s just a common cop out to excuse what the church did that was wrong. It’s also a tacit admission that the church did indeed do it, but in an effort defend the church at all costs and never admit to or acknowledge that the Catholic church can be wrong in any area, Catholics blame shift and fall back on that.,
Talk is cheap and *official* anything doesn’t amount to a hill of beans when the practice shows what the church really upholds.
