"According to ancient Catholic tradition and teaching, explicitly confirmed in 1965 by the Second Vatican Council, known as Vatican II, the church is not its hierarchy. The church is the flock."

To You, Uptight Orthodox
If the world upheld every religious rule and regulation perfectly, and if we stuck solely to a very legalist interpretation of doctrine, well, none of us would be practicing the religions we currently are. Religions grow and change, as everything does in this world. So, please radically conservative orthodox Catholic acquaintance, stop getting terribly heated over minor things you think everyone should agree with. If only the people that agree with you on all such points were considered "Catholic", then you'd only be counting less than 5% of the current church. Oh, and also please stop thinking you know how to translate Sanskrit...because you don't.
