RE: Why This Bothers Me
"Amen" to that -- it is a little disturbing that people need to get permission from their priests. But one step at a time. When a whole group of people has been so closed off for so long, it's understandable that they need some reassurance. As their faith opens up they'll become more self-reliant and eventually it will be a matter of free and healthy dialog with their ministers and with Truth. That's the thing with truth, it really can't be expressed in words, and so a book like the bible can only point at it, it should never be mistaken for the truth itself--just as the word "rock" isn't actually a rock.
