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.
(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.
This is the part that makes me laugh the hardest. The pope is voted for by a committee. It is a blatant political endeavor, one that both highlights which sect is in control among the cardinals, as well as selecting the mascot for the public marketing campaign of the RCC (which is why Pope Palpatine 'stepped down' and the current squishy Pope took his place). How anyone can sincerely believe that the pope is chosen, in part, for his holiness is beyond me.
