text: I agree with you, Elagabalus.  I find all of this insistence on the "unchanging nature" of Church teaching to be tiresome.  if people truly believe that it is God who established all of these rules, then we ought to go back to Leviticus.  Also, those who insist on taking what is written in the gospels as the exact words of Jesus, then many of them ought to be minus hands and eyes and feet, and there ought to be many people on the bottoms of bodies of water, with millstones keeping them there.  Or, if people say that interpretation has changed, then why can it not continue to change?
