Thank you for taking the time I am afraid my knowledge of Roman Catholcism is not what it should be given my background (Irish Catholic/Irish Prodestant/Scots Prebyterian)
this is not meant to cause contention what is the difference between dogma and administrative rule?
Is it like for us the word of wisdom - part of which is commandment, part if good advice?
It would be nice if this thread could be used to learn more
