Thank you for your reply.  I very much disagree with the premise of your opinions, that all 'dissent," however one defines that, is wrong.  If one carefully studies Church history, they will find one incident after another where such "dissent," or advanced thinking to many, was met with official derision yet proved to be correct and developmental in guiding the Church in doctrine and practice.  There is, as well, much that the Church has needed to correct - and certainly needs to now - that theological study is one important (vital) step in the process of refining doctrine and practice with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  A very rigid view, which you espouse, (1) negates the involvement of the Spirit in our efforts to better understand what Christ wants for His Church and His people, and (2) ignores the many ways Church practice has been changed and modified through the centuries based on the insights of theologians, saints and others.  I would hope you would be more open to this.
