Answer 1

Doctor of the Church is a special title accorded by the Catholic Church to certain saints.



This title indicates that the writings and preachings of such a person are useful to Christians "in any age of the Church."

Answer 2

The Whole thing is...



The "Doctors was/were the Church, now defined as a group of First to Fourth Century Christians trying to unify themselves for empowerment. By golly it worked!. Their authority came from Jesus. Their logo was Jesus. The nativity, the miracles, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection...All made great circus and put them in control of morality. The Church evolved by reediting Dogma. The last reedit was 1950.



IMO Other clues of "Doctoring the Dogma" for the invention of Jesus come the two chronologies of the Gospels. By listing all the "begetting" from David to Joseph the original intention seemed to show Jesus coming from a long line of Kings and the actual son Joseph, Mary's husband. But instead of him just being the King of Kings they later made him the son of God. Joseph, another invented cast member got screwed. Mary cheated on him.



The Gospels and the editing of the N.T. were in the control of The Church. From whatever resources they had in the late first Century Mark, Matthew, Luke and John got the ball rolling that raised Jesus to divinity status. That required some sensational embellishments like miracles, Angels, Demons and of course grotesque blood letting. The Gospels were the First Century equivalent of FOXNews.



Raising the Jesus to divinity required his Earthly mother to be promoted and declared a virgin. Later, The Church elevated Mary even further and cleared her of Original Sin. Mary btw, is one of the few females in the Bible to have any praise or status. Only two female "Saints" In the O.T. Mrs. Noah was never given a first name. Sarah, wife of Abraham was pimped by God himself. Leah was ugly and her sister deceitful. Lot's nameless wife gets turned into a pillar of salt. Daughters were sold as chattel. It seems Chauvinism dominated the Early Church and stayed around until The 21st Century.



Sorry to bore...It's my favorite subject.
