the catholic church, like any big organization, does whatever it needs to do in order to survive. big organizations do not exist for the betterment of their clients.
if god exists, the catholic church has no more understanding of god than anyone else does.
the catholic church changes its mind about a lot of things. if it really had a connection to god, it would not need to change its mind.
the sadness that i see is that there are so many brainwashed catholics, who simply go along with whatever the church says. if the church says something is true, then catholics must believe it is true, or be told they are sinning and arent good catholics, etc.
then when the church changes its mind, the people are also supposed to change their mind. what would have been a sin yesterday, is now a sin today for just the opposite reason.
when i was a kid, catholics were still being taught that only catholics could get to heaven. while pope john changed that in the early 60s, it did not trickle down to the various priests and nuns at the individual churches instantaneously.
i finally wised up, and realized that the catholic church has no connection with god.
