[QUOTE="SoonerATC, post: 2136589, member: 9576"] That's where you are wrong. The Church, founded by Christ, does not need to "accept" anything. The Church is the repository of Truth and if certain people choose not to agree with it, that's their free will. Truth does not change to suit the times. That's what makes it truth...it is, has, and always will be. I couldn't tell by this statement whether you are saying you are a Catholic or not. It sounded like you were. The position of Pope was created by Christ Himself when He told Peter he was the rock upon which He would build His church and that He would give Peter the keys to the kingdom of Heaven (the symbolism behind the keys in papal emblems). I would dare not say that if Christ saw the need for a Shepard for his Church, that it has "outlived its usefulness". That's a highly arrogant assumption for you to make. I do have to ask why you even bother calling yourself Catholic, if you have such a pessimistic view toward it? [/QUOTE]
