"Don't major on minors." We think that we're very sophisticated and spiritually-mature because we don't "major on minors". But what has actually happened is this: for the last century and a half - from the mid nineteenth century to the present - the Church has been in full-scale retreat. And those doctrines which we like to call 'majors' are simply those doctrines that are light enough to carry while we're running away. Everything else that impedes our flight, we just throw to either side of the road.
