re: #361 Obdicut

Well, obviously.

The Catholic church changed its doctrinal position on, for example, reading the bible in English due to political pressure from outside— namely, from Protestantism. You can directly tie many Catholic doctrinal changes to political pressure.

Uh - English translations of the Bible date back to at least the 7th century. The change to recitation of the Mass in local languages rather than Latin is a result of Vatican II, in the 1960s.

I think you’re once again being overly simplistic.
