Ive reached a bit of a dilemma.
I completely agree that as a christian, we must submit our will to the authority of the church. If i do not understand or believe in a teaching, it is not the church which needs to change, but it is myself that needs to change.
This leaves a dilemma concerning authority. Both catholicism and orthodoxy claim full legitimate authority in which we must submit. How is one to choose which authority to submit to if both have equal claim?
