Sometimes it takes the form "If I'd known you were a, I wouldn't have said it." Your distinction between the doctrines of the members of the church and the doctrine of the church seems vague. Are you suggesting a "secret doctrine" to Catholicism and/or Mormonism, known only by the Inner Circle of priests? If so, I would ask to see your evidence of its existence. I trust you know that such accounts are almost always frauds told by an organization's enemies. An example would be Jack Chick's Crusader Comics #12 and up, including Alberto, about a vast conspiracy headed by the Jesuits who control the Vatican. Pure poppycock and vastly harmful; but the claims that higher-ups are covering up prevent such lies from ever being fully quenched. If I have misinterpreted you, please tell me what you meant by your distinction. -=- Tim Maroney, Carnegie-Mellon University Computation Center ARPA: Tim.Maroney@CMU-CS-K uucp: seismo!cmu-cs-k!tim CompuServe: 74176,1360 audio: shout "Hey, Tim!"
