If I claim to be a priest in his diocese, then I am required to follow his rules. Them’s the rules of the game.

Is there a point at which you are not?

[PetroniusMaximus]

“If I claim to be a priest in his diocese, then I am required to follow his rules. Them’s the rules of the game.”

Peter, Jams and John rejected the “duly constituted” authority of the Sanhedrin when it required of them that which was opposed to God’s will.

Religious authority, when it becomes systemically corrupt, ceases to be a legitimate agent of God.

I really don’t believe you would put your children in a pro homosexual class!

Not if the diocese refuses to follow the rules first. One cannot enforce a covenant they have already breached.
