@lizzie thank you for the detailed response :) you really put love into it and it shows. I think your regard for the papacy as being in opposition to the "kenotic inverted kingship" of Christ is quite keen (although wont He be a very literal king when He returns?), I feel like theres been some progress in that general front of at least being in accordance with Christ's humility by eschewing some of the past pageantry of popery but the very concept of the pope as being an infallible steward of the church is an impudent device. I have no love for the pope as a person or an institution, my regard for the catholic church is mostly for its saints which imo show that it is in communion with God who actively dispenses charisms and revelation through it still, more I'd argue than any other church, but I could just be ignorant! thus I really think that if God wanted to repair Christianity He would do it through the Roman Catholic Church. as far as sophiology is concerned, I thought that was confined to christian gnosticism? I'm not a fan of the wisdom cults although this might be hypocritical with my regard for the upanishads which were originally secret teachings.
