The Eastern Orthodox Church gets along just fine without a CDF, and with the belief in the very nature of the Church as growth and the conviction that "truth" must be received by the whole conscience of the Church, i.e., every person. A church that asks any of its members to "publish a statement" against his or her conscience "that X will never happen" is not a church, but a Ministry of Truth. Most definitely a symptom of having lost its way.
