No spin..it's in VII documents! 

This is the problem..people operate on their own self spin, never actually grounding their opinions in the reading of formal documents.

Your example is a pointer to the partial failure of VII:  the lay aren't putting their shoulder into their own formation...they operate on the surface, loving to characterize things as spin.   No depth.

God allows people use their own freedom, and He gives us the grace to help spread His Gospel to the ends of the earth, as the early Christians did.

He chose the Jewish people to begin, because their religion was monotheistic and personal.
