Nobody in their right mind wants a truly democratic church. Such a church would twist and bend with whatever's going on in society at any given moment and, ultimately, become a disaster. But what we have now in Catholicism -- a stale system of inbred thinking by overly cautious old men who, generation after generation, replicate themselves -- is no day at the beach either. 

There has to be some way to bring the fresh air of scientific learning and societal development into our understanding of doctrine. If we don't, the RCC will go the way of the dodo. It's inevitable.

By the way, are you aware that your new avatar resembles a swastika? Was that intentional?
