Catholics warring against the Pope?

(and I'm well aware they do, all the time, btw)

Changing dogma, strictures, edicts, pronouncements, rules, invocations, commandments and rules IMMEDIATELY raises the question, WTF?  We've been doing it WRONG ???

Jesus Fucking Christ !!!

It's just the pew warmers are coddled with various BS about deeper meanings, or better interpretations, and the church can maintain they have been correct all along.
It's one of the reason the RCC has lasted so long, they have mastered the way to do this.  It's the Pope.  You see, he's got a direct(er) line to God, and they are taught that he is basically divinely inspired, so if he decrees an actual change, it IS the will of God.

How they explain why the will of a perfect being changes, well, that's a lot of hand waving and He works in mysterious ways bullshit.  I remember when I was @14 or so, going with questions like this to my mom, and she couldn't satisfactorily answer them, so she sent me to talk to our parish priest (who was a great guy, BTW, not some creepy molester), but even though he tried, he couldn't satisfactorily answer either.  These were my original seeds of doubt, in RCC doctrine specifically rather than in God.  It grew later in my life to encompass more things.

I don't know why so many "pew warmers" as you put it don't ask these questions or are bothered by the lack of sensible answers.  
Is lack of curiosity an intelligence issue? Are they simply so invested in the idea of an eternal reward and afterlife that they will accept all sorts of bullshit?  I don't know.  That being said, the RCC is bleeding followers right now, and while some go to other denominations, at least a few continue to ask questions until they finally realize that all those answers are just BS.
