@tcw_blog1@IsaiahINBI Yes, although for me the issue extends beyond that in the sense that there is a “recent stance” to begin with, rather than the Church’s doctrine being unchanged.
@tcw_blog1@IsaiahINBI According to the very definition of the word, inadmissible means not allowed, not permitted, or unable to be accepted, and even if we put strict definitions aside, binding or not, the Church as an institution now calls for abolition of capital punishment worldwide,
@IsaiahINBI My broader point being; I cannot be certain that this institution is the truth when I see plain contradictions in front of my eyes, and therefore I can’t claim to be a Roman Catholic because I’d just be lying.
@IsaiahINBI …where it effectively is a complete reversal of two millennia of tradition and arguably even scriptural doctrine, I don't know if I can be certain about that. The former didn’t contradict prior teaching at all but the latter certainly does.
