text: You apparently haven't read the bible, what the church binds on earth is bound in heaven.  And of course, we have many examples of the Church having to put aside some of that Gospel stuff because it just doesn't work.  Remember the abuse scandal?  Turns out Jesus and that whole millstone business was not acceptable to the Church, which, in its inerrancy placed the protection of its reputation over the protection of the flock.  Jesus went on about humility in his followers, but the Church recognizes that it is necessary to be lead by Princes, dressed as Princes, so humility for the followers of the Apostles is out.  These are just a few examples where the Church had to jettison those scriptural passages that didn't work.  You can have scripture, or you can have the Holy Mother Church, lead by Our Holy Father.  I'll stick with the Traditions and Rituals that lead to Salvation, if you don't mind.
