Just two days ago we were told by FRoman Catholic apologists that the current Pope can’t change doctrine/dogma because it was set in stone long ago.

And if you were paying attention, you've also been told many times that clerical celibacy (at least in the sense of not ordaining married men to the priesthood), is not dogma but discipline, and therefore is at least theoretically changeable.

By the way, speaking of changing doctrine, does your Presbyterian church approve of artificial contraception? When did they change that doctrine? I guarantee it happened after 1930.

But if they did, they were predestined to do it!

So you’re saying there is no dogma that Catholic priests HAVE to do this. That this is a separate body of principles and is subject to alteration through whatever official process such things are altered.

You want to talk about artificial contraception? I know I have told you that I have more Roman Catholic women seeking it than Reformed.
