My Priest says he is a "Liberal Priest"

[Kelt]

The Church has not changed. The behavior of some of its leaders has changed, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. This Catholics never deny.

But the fundamental truths do not change just because we live 2,000 years later. God is still God. We still need God. The Church still is there to help us find God. The ways of finding God do not change. If the Church ever started to change some of its fundamental moral doctrines (such as its stance on abortion and same-sex marriage) I think the Church would quickly go up in smoke, as have other Churches who have radically altered their teachings to suit the times in which they live. Many of the people who belong to those churches (including bishops and pastors) are lining up to join the Catholic Church because they will no longer sell their allegiance to the latest politically correct liberal doctrine that comes from the devil.

But you haven’t answered my questions!
The church clearly HAS changed, whatever you seem to see or not see…burning heretics was seen as right not only for political/ conventional reasons of the day. There were theological reasons too - purifying the soul of the victim! God would forgive the sin due to the purification of the burning. It was also important to get a confession ( often by torture) and repentance from the victim for the same reason. Over time, the church changed this teaching as church elders came to believe that it was wrong. Doubtless at the time, there were some in the church who felt that that change was the latest politically correct, liberal doctrine that came from the devil?
