Vatican Debates Transplantation?

Not that i'm a big fan of either, but i think the protestants are correct in their removal of a greater church authority. The Vatican gets to decide what is right and what is wrong, and then impose that view on all Catholics who are required to agree, this is contrary to individual intellectualism. It is the right of the individual to decide for themselves what is the correct interpretations and what they think is right.

A friend of mine, one of his favorite sayings is:The largest religion is Catholics, the second largest. Nonpracticing Catholics. The one's who disagree with the Vatican i would believe fit in the catagory.

What meaning has this? Other than a display of arrogance?

In reference to your "removal of greater authority." The Vatican can try and "impose that view on all Catholics" But as humans with freewill, that often doesn't happen. No arrogance, just my opinion on your post.

That's like trying to justify making a "bad law" by the fact that people won't follow it. The fact of the matter is they shouldn't of tried to in the first place.

The arrogance i was talking about was your friend's insistence that Catholicism is present in all people that some reject it and some accept it, but that insistence wouldn't be consistent with reality.

He was joking, but i guess he got you.

dry Jokes that are repeated tend to be believed.
