Meaning that "god" can change his mind?

Quote:Historically, one of the most prominent examples of the Church changing its teaching was in the matter of usury, or charging interest on loans. The early Church forbad interest on loans, much in the same way Islam does today. But the teaching was eventually softened to state that exorbitant interest was forbidden. Unfortunately, "exorbitant" was never defined, so in effect the teaching was reversed, with sad effects on our economy today.

A skeptic (wink, wink) might suggest that rather than some holy spirit the driving force was the determination that there was a lot of money to be made in banking!
