True, it is a low blow because it happend 400 years ago.

My point is, the Church has been horribly wrong before. Again and again.

Yes, the church has. And when it has been wrong it has always had a hard time backing itself up with scripture.

And why should we believe they've suddenly become more enlightened?

The "world" does not have to listen to the church if it doesn't want to. We arn't "imposing" anything here. I thought I made that clear. We just want to be very clear about the termenology that is being thrown around.
