By Tod Worner, Aleteia - Among the criticisms I heard.. was that the Church is “dogmatic”… dogmatic does not mean harsh or dogged… but instead means adhering to dogma and promoting such “principles as incontrovertibly true.” Thus comes the accusation that the Church is “too sure that it is right” (a curious tendency of Truth) and is addled with endless councils, documents and rules that create complexity that clouds out God.
