If one doctrine is wrong, they all could be wrong?

That’s actually a pretty thoughtful comment. Your point would be that if my position was correct, the Universal Church would be equivalent to the Catholic Church at least until 1054, right?

Of Course

Hmmm… Of course there were differences of theological opinion within the undivided Church prior to the Great Schism. Maybe that’s the answer?

Maybe. But I’d keep looking if I were you

The greatest Saints obeyed their priests, even when they disagreed with them, and God blessed them for their obedience, even when it seemed clear that what the Saint wanted to do was probably the wiser course of action at the time.

People who did their own thing in disobedience, even when they were right, ended up being cut off from God, and ultimately, their plans ended in division and even warfare - and still didn’t solve the original problem. They would have done better to be patient and obedient.

You gotta be thinking of somebody here, who?
