I thank Leon Suseran for his Tuesday November 1, 2011 letter in which he candidly re-visited Christian history, and the split (maybe) or I can say, the break away from Roman Catholicism. Suseran constantly refers to the Roman Catholic Church as ‘The Church.’ With this interpretation, I have quite a few problems. I sincerely hope that he will take the time to address some of my concerns.
First, I personally want an explanation of the Infallibility of the Pope. To me this shows that the Bible is not the final source of authority in matters of the Faith and Daily Living. In this regard, I raise the issues of Celibacy (Peter was married) and Purgation. Further than that, I want to know how come there are so many types of the Holy Bible (not versions and translations) with various churches. For example, what about the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrpha? Also what of the Gospels according to so many others outside of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? And better yet, how come the Bible is what it is today? The last question deals with its compilation and declarations by the various Church Councils.
Mr. Suseran, these are serious questions, but I respect your objectivity and sincerity. As you can guess, I have many more questions for the likes of you, but these I will posit at a later time. For now, I close with the following, and in your assessment, some of the above will be answered.

1. Nicea (A.D. 325)-The Doctrine of the Consubstantiation of Jesus-i.e. Designating Jesus as being one in ‘essence’ with God. The man behind this Council was Emperor Constantine.
2. Constantinople (A.D. 381)-The Doctrine of the Trinity i.e. a Triune God in the form of father, Son and Holy Ghost. The man behind this Council was Theodosius The Great.
3. Ephesus (A.D. 431)-Mary as God (or as Holy Mother of God), and making her unique as being born ‘without original sin.’The man behind this is Theodosius The Second and Valentianus The Third.
4. Chalcedon (A.D. 451)-The Dual Nature of Jesus (being full God and Man at one and at the same time). The man behind this Council was Marcianus, who also granted the ‘Infallibility’ to the Pope, so that doctrines, tenets and polities can be altered.
5. Constaniople (A.D. 553)-The endowment of power for the ‘Council of Elders,’ ascribing them authority in determining Church Doctrines and Orthodox practices. The man behind this Council was Justinian.

In other words, were the above Councils inserting or interpreting doctrines?
