"The question, "What ever happened to Jesus?," is moral theology."

Ah! But is it catholic moral theology or does the catholic church think more about it's own traditions and political structure than Jesus Chrsit and His teachings. In your re-phrasing of the question you must have forgot to include the descriptor which was the whole point of the comment in the first place. Nice try.

The Catholic or Universal Church is the Church that Christ founded. The Church produced and protects the Oral and Written Traditions of the Apostles. The bishops are the successors of the Apostles (Acts 1:20). Christ is the head of the Church; the pope is His representative on earth (Isaiah 22:22, Matthew 16:19). The Church, under the guidance and protection of the Holy Spirit, also derives certain teachings from data contained within the Sacred Written and Oral Traditions, leading Christ's followers into all truth as Scripture promises.

Where do your doctrines come from? Martin Luther? Your abridged Bible?
