text: Yep, grown ups think and one of the first things they learn is that giving everybody the power of binding and loosing is ridiculous on its face and guarantees chaos.  If you really want to go to a church with no absolutes then I'm sure there is a new and improved Episcopalian church somewhere that can accomodate you.  The Catholic Church has thrived for 2,000 years because it has a successor to Peter who is an absolute monarch when it comes to guarding the deposit of Faith, nothing more and nothing less.  Francis is a challenge to that unbroken line of succession because he is trying to do in terms of praxis what he and his minions do not have the courage and integrity to do in terms of  that deposit of Faith.
