He gets demoted for saying that what his god had others believe for hundreds of years was utterly false and a mistake.

"Those people, they were so inferior to us. Look at us! We're so awesome, we're *finally* getting right what Jesus and God had almost 2000 years to straight out. What wimpy Holy Spirit thing, our sacramental wine's stronger than that holy spirit thing. Pie Jesu, suge mentulam meam!"

Every change produces heresy. Every change says, "Those who came before weren't really christians." And for a church that depends on tradition for its authority, that's a problem. Every time somebody says, "Now the church will finally get it right" means that they were just plain wrong before.

(Needless to say, am not and have never been a Catholic.)
