The Roman Catholic Church, with the magisterium, has been spending the last 2000 years trying to ~bind~, ~limit~ and ~define~ God... easily seen when you see how they work, how the church functions, leaning on their Own understandings, rather than on the Spirit of Truth... mostly, to my mind, because they try to force Her into the guise of a He... and She doesn't Hear them, when they ask thier questions with the intent of addressing them the way ~they~ want to, rather than God (Father, Son and Daughter) wants them to... Out of the same sort of Pride that we're warned against...
Is it really any wonder why there are so many, and growing numbers of, lgbt folks? While the RCC continues to say they're "against God" and are ~Afraid~ of them?
Where does fear come from?
How can you bind, define, or control the infinite?
Catholic means Universal, All Encompassing... ~Everything~
Roman Catholic means rules and laws that never existed, except where angels fear to tread... that go against almost Everything Jesus ~Told~ us to do.
Ephesians 12 , Douay-Rheims
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places.
More good reading ;-)

By using the phrase “principalities and powers,” Paul is telling us that there is a hierarchical structure to the kingdom of darkness; where fallen angels, evil spirits, and demons are ranked one above the other according to their power and authority.
