There seems to be a lot of that. The biggest tool in the Christian toolbox.... "RE-DEFINE".
Better to just be rid of it.
Did you hear the one about how many Orthodox Christians it takes to change a lightbulb?
Forgive me...

You would be surprised at the amount of threads that were closed for "cleanup" and never reopened

You're bait and trap thread succeeded.

If we lose our job, we worry about the bills. If we get sick, we wonder if it is 'the big one'. Are our children going to do well when they grow up? Will I have enough money to retire with? Will my lack of medical insurance mean I'll end up going bankrupt? Such concerns, which are part of life, are tests of our trust and hope in God as well as His faithfulness to us. |

Many of the others feel that not every last thing religious that a human can think up should be settled by an official action of the Church.
However, that strength--if is truly a strength--is the same one that is enjoyed by every cult. Certainty and unanimity are not virtues in this regard UNLESS the official position is the correct one."

Well, if that were true and everyone agreed to it, then of course your observation would be correct.
I have realized that it's strength can become it's ultimate downfall. If they fail to clarify their message, then confusion spreads throughout Catholicism in a worldwide effect.
Seems to me that even when the message is clarified, there is dissension. All that I've said is a strength--in response to another post--is that having the official word can be considered a strength, especially if we don't get into whether or not it is the correct word on the subject. OTOH, many people would not agree with me there, seeing this as religious tyranny and very dangerous.
For instance, Catholicism had to clear up the misconceptions of their theology back in the 16,000's. it took them more than 100+ years to get atleast 75% of it's theology clarified.
I think I see your point. |

I'm curious, Albion, where do you look as an Anglican to clarify matters of morals and faith.
I ask this with all sincerity. Thanks.
