Catholic is the most conservative form of christainity

Agree?

The word traditional would be more appropriate.

Wah!

I'll change conservative to 'original'.
I hope this is not flamebait. -
what is ur definition of conservative?Originally posted by chronicles:Agree? -
laoda is back?!

I don't say it is really conservative in any sense. Just that it doesn't have a democratic institution to begin with. Too many decisions lie in the hands of one person or a close group.

Wait for everybody's vote, you can wait till next century.
At work, I don't ask for anybody's opinion. Used to call for meetings for decisions. End up nothing is done. Everybody voiced out his/her opinion for the sake of talking. So now, I decide. If need any advice, ask one person, max 2.
Same goes for the church. With billions of members all over the world, it's best to let only one guy talk. -
Anyway, Presbyterians are also quite traditional ones.
They still appoint Elders (just like what we see in the bible). They have very solemn service, which I very much feel comfortable with. -
Roman Catholics are not even Christians. You are comparing apple with oranges.

Other denominations (even Islam) give a wide range of autonomy to their elders. What we have is over-centralisation of power in the pope's hands. I feel that archbishops should be allowed to make their own decisions based on what they feel is best for their diocese.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Like that, decisions will be made faster what.

Christian, yes. But Roman Catholics introduce Mary into the equation. -

Consider this: His caretakers Joseph and Mary put so much effort into raising him up, surely they must have made some impact in their lives, no?Originally posted by fandango:what do you mean?
