I know why you want it to be, but it's the Christian (Catholic) Church, which comprises over 20 Liturgical Rites, of which the Roman/Latin is only one. So, you just have Google "Liturgical Rites" within the Christian (Catholic) Church and you'll understand.
I'm not interested in the mother, or her daughters - they all drink from the same cup - as I said - please don't post Romanist dogma here
Willing Blindness (the irony!)
Luke 13:14 But the ruler of the synagogue, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, said to the people, “There are six days in which work ought to be done. Come on those days and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day.”
The ruler of the synagogue (archisunagogus, meaning enforcer of the rules) did not address Jesus or the healed woman directly (arrogance), but instead spoke to the people (assuming the role of law giver!). Quoting Exodus 20:9, he reminded them that there were “six days in which” work could be done, and then urged, “Come to be healed on those days, and not on the Sabbath.” Ironically, in making this statement, the blind legalist openly admitted that genuine healings were taking place.
This happens only when a religious body elevates its customs and traditions above the Gospel of God.

And, that's why there is so many misinformed people about the Christian (Catholic) Church.
I haven't because a Christian (Catholic) dogma is a truth divinely revealed by God and definitively proposed by the Church for belief, such as the Trinity or the Resurrection of Christ. Rather I corrected an error you made by explaining why the correct name is the "Christian (Catholic) Church", which is a description of the Christian faith and the Church that is universal and guided by the Pope, according to the Christian (Catholic) understanding.
So not in communion with the Pope of Rome?...interesting
This is not the thread to discuss your false doctrines sorry - feel free to start another if you so desire.
You said that you're not interested in Catholicism, which is why I said it's that attitude which is the cause for so many being misinformed about the Christian (Catholic) Church. The Christian (Catholic) Church is centered in Rome, Italy, and that is where the current Pope, or Head of the Christian (Catholic) Church, resides. The Pope always had many different titles. The Pope is not only the Vicar of Christ but also the Bishop of Rome. This tradition goes back to the holy apostle Peter, who was the first Bishop of Rome after Jesus Christ entrusted him with the task of leading the flock.
First, you're conflating the words "dogma" and "doctrine" within Catholicism (Google the difference). Second, I wasn't discussing any specific dogma or doctrine, but rather correcting your misapplication of the word "dogma" to my correcting your misnaming the Christian (Catholic) Church.

You are not quick on the uptake are you sabe? So deceived! As deceived as the ruler of the synagogue. You can leave now!
It's not the first time those of the truth were accused of working for the deceiver. Even Jesus was.
Great topic @Hiddenthings, just one comment about Psalm 78:49
Ps 78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. [KJV]
Ps 78:49 He let loose on them his burning anger, wrath, indignation, and distress, a company of destroying angels. [ESV]
Ps 78:49 He sendeth on them the fury of His anger, Wrath, and indignation, and distress--A discharge of evil messengers. [YLT]
Ps 78:49 He sent His burning anger against them: fury, indignation, and calamity — a band of deadly messengers. [HCSB]
Ps 78:49 His raging anger lashed out against them. He sent fury, rage, and trouble as messengers who bring disaster. [NET 2.1]
Psalm 78:49 - I Will Open My Mouth in Parables [more translations].
Whatever the right translation the context of v49 is the story of the Exodus and the 10 plagues, God punishing Pharaoh.
God did not punish the woman in Luke 13 and thus Psalm 78:49 doesn't apply to her.
I sent you a private message as a side note to the above. I am fully convinced that the angels God sent to administer the plagues in Egypt have carried out many mighty acts on His behalf throughout history, acts that many Christians mistakenly attribute to a fallen angel.
To be straight, I don’t know whether the woman’s condition was genetic or degenerative, of God. What I do know is that the source of her suffering was the Satan (Judaizers) ( see Luke 22:53; cf. Acts 26:18; 2 Cor. 11:14; 12:7; Rev. 2:9) ,an imposition of the law that restricted faith (Gal. 3:12, 18, 23). God intervened to free her from that limitation.
What I know for certain is this woman and her presence in the synagogue testified that the Abrahamic covenant which frees us from the bondage of law Gal 2:10-14.

The Unjust Steward (Luke 16:1-18)
By common consent, this is considered Jesus’ most perplexing parable, but the puzzling part is often more in his commentary than in the story itself. The narrative is vivid and engaging, rich with detail. A rich man heard that his steward was “wasting his goods” (the same phrase used in the...

I thought I would add to this thread according to the line of reasoning and show it by the scriptures starting in Acts and going backwards
