And if you really start to research, which DD is a little young for, but how the church developed, Paul being a very good marketer, the real research, you see it was developed more to control populations. And how do you explain these things while still letting her pass the tests to get her first communion?
I have not read all the replies yet, but I wonder what exactly you read in your research that led you to believe what you said here.
I suggest you continue to research and be sure to read writings by scholars like Scott Hahn and Stephen Ray.
Feel free to pm me for specific titles and other resources. The Catholic church is rich in history and tradtiton and there's ton of misleading information out there.
