Rationalisation, pure and simple.

Ah, theological nit picking tends to be attached to translations of
that. AndrewR is the one to ask about the Catholicism. Seriously. It's
not my specialist area, it is his.
Also Phil L, his version of christianity is (thinks how to phrase

No. It's little to do with liturgy and more to do with sociology.

Is that catholic with a "c" or Catholic with a "C"? The senior

was catholic (as in not Protestant), but not *Roman* Catholic [5].

I stand by what I say, which is a generally-accepted synopsis -
without citation - of the dynamics of very early Christianity.

[You know, while I was addresing the topic I was talking to my friend,
via Skype, in Pennsylvania. He attended seminary for a number of
years but did not become ordained. We both agreed on my analysis]
