As a Catholic, I say it's about time.

Does this mean that God will have to go along with whatever the Catholic Church says?

Being raised a Catholic I still can't believe how many people worship the Pope as much as they worship God. At least I don't practice Catholisim, nor any religion, anymore.

Is this correct and if so, what are your feelings regarding this claim?

STella, this is true. I grew up be ing baptized, going to Sunday school, had Confirmation, and even served as an Altar boy for ALL of my years until I went out on my own at 22. And it amazes me all the people that the Catholic Church have control over.

Some Catholics believe that to be the case, but as we see here, there's always room for progress. I like the Catholic proceddings and such, but I don't believe in much of the dogma.

The catholic church interprets scripture. If the Catholic church is wrong then it's interpretation is wrong, not necessarily scripture. However not all catholics believe that the Catholic church is infallible or even scripture is infallible for that matter.
