I clearly didn’t say it was a doctrine or a dogma.
Quote:But before you do, make sure you know the differences between dogmas, doctrines, devotions, and disciplines. The latter two can change, but the former two never have.
The Catholic Church is teaching the same doctrines it has for 2,000 years.
—This may be true, but, the catholic church has been changing it’s mind and making up new rules since it was first established.
Again, please don’t words in my mouth. I agreed doctrines haven’t changed, as for everything else, well..I’m sure you know.
I did not mean to do so...I'm not accustomed to hearing someone complain that something other than dogmas and doctrines have changed - if that is what you meant.
If you are saying that devotions and disciplines have changed over the years, then sure. But so what?
It's only an issue if you assert that dogmas and doctrines have been changed (abandoned or reversed).
