In what way?

If you say you want the return to absolute dogma, and absolute obedience to such an institution, I question your sincerity, and your progressive European orientation.

"In essentials - Orthodoxy. In non-essentials - Liberty. In all things - charity" - St Augustine

Religion is religion, respect your gods, but, please don't expect me to put trust in an institution that has no safety break. The scientific progress was stopped and even reversed during the times when the church was the most powerful institution on earth.
It only picked up with the weakening of the dogmas.

Examples?


Personally, I don't see Christianity being any more dogmatic than the self-annihilating faith of Scientism.
