BTW there was a doco on ABC about how ‘doctrines’ were altered to suit political purposes.E.g. doco on Saull/St.Paul & the road to Damascus etc.highlights that the message was changed by his followers, etc. So could we say they became Church Rule rather than God’s Law? The churches have hurt themselves through placing priests ‘above’ others, hiding behind Cannon Law & turning a blind eye to pedophilia and abuse of children.Today, clergy are subject to our country’s Laws and accountable for their actions. That is progress in my opinion!
