How would you propose that the RCC ought to change their organization?

you know the answers I'll give....
The entire hierarchy should be gone. in christianity there aren't levels of hierarchy, we can learn from eachother of course, and some may know mroe then others, but in the end christianity is the faith of an individual. It's between 1 human and God.
Where there's hierarchy there's corruption and power and politics.

Which ones would you like to see go, Robert? All of them.

What makes you believe that human nature now is superior to human nature 500 years ago? Nothing, I didn't say such a thing.
Times are changing and so are cultures. Christianity is too often thought to be a moral answer on any whickd culture, but it is not.
Do you think that Paul thought slavery was good? No, he said that God had meant all to be equal, men and women, rich and poor, slaves and masters. Yet when a slave came to his door he send him back. And he asked women to accept the rule of their husbands. Not b/c he approved slavery or sexism. No, only b/c christianity isn't about having a moral judgement on any culture, but about spreading the gospel. If Paul would have liberated the slaves and the women, the gospel would have been lost for the men and the slavemasters.

But in the end I'm glad to live in this day and this culture.
Despite our arrogant attitude (humanity in general) we also care for eachother, we don't abuse women and slaves anymore. We respect the right of the individual. I think that's a good thing.
