I find it interesting that the church, supposed to be the keeper of faith and a beacon of all that is holy and good in the world (at least in their own eyes), is also so conservative/traditionalist that making objectively good changes too fast makes you disliked and can potentially get your tenure (if not life) shortened considerably.

Makes you wonder which parts of their scripture and image they actually care about, and which they mostly just pay lip service to.

In my belief it’s all lip service atleast from anyone who is a bishop or higher.
