It’s just that they deployed it on a legalistic framework for divinity, rather than on the movement of the planets.
Thought unmoored from context and tied instead to legalistic dogma.
Could link perhaps to Nietzche's identification of the death of god and how we killed it. I.e. If the spiritual is defined and contained in the abstraction of legalism it loses the adaptive capacity expressed in yarning.
If the nicene creed is an exclusionary definition of faith, then all other faiths/variation thereof are invalidated by its prescription. Thus the pope continued resistance to the freemasons.
