I still don't think you understand. If Catholicism has changed it is no longer the true Christian religion. Yes most churches branched off from it, but there are some churches today with pre-Catholicism practices. My church hasn't changed to "suit" its members. We follow the Bible as well as we can. The true church is an unchanged church like ours that follows the guidelines set in the Bible. The Church of Christ did not break of from Catholicism, it existed before Catholicism.
I believe there is only one true church, the one founded by Jesus and the apostles before the conception of Catholicism. That church still exists today (I know, I am one of its members). Catholicism is just arguable the most well known because of all the ceremonial stuff (stained glass windows, statues of the crucifixion, the pope) which was added to the original and true Christianity. When something changes, it becomes something new. Catholicism is no longer the original church because of all the man made parts of it.
The word of God has NOT changed to accomadate present life for everyone. Not for me certainly, otherwise I wouldn't be arguing with you over something like this.
Having said that, I will let the subject die. I just don't want people to think that Catholics are doing exactly what the Biblical chruches did because that isn't true.
