Conservative Catholics?
Is there such a thing?

Wow! That’s your response? To directly contradict scripture?
Then, y’all need to back up your statements. Just because a man said it does not make it right. What does the Bible say? Seems like that is a problem for some.
Who are “YOU” to say that the Catholic Church that interpreted, and sorted out the books in Scripture which by far is the profoundest of all authority is wrong and you are right? Or all the great theologians of the world from Augustine to Aquinas to Neman to Benedict XVI are all wrong. By what authority do you say this? This authority was given to Peter and his successors not to “you” anymore than to “me” or David Koresh! That is the beginning and end of the debate. To His Church, “whatsoever thou shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven..”

Please show where I have ever cited Jerome. Otherwise stop with the generalizing assumptions.
Other then that your post contains no infallible source that shows the apostles taught the assumption of Mary. If Mary was resurrected after Jesus ascention how many ressurections are there? What did Jesus say the first resurrection was? Did He forget about the ressurection of Mary?
David Koresh and others were no more Christians than a muslim is. A Christian would not have done those things just like Jim Jones/Manson. They tried to be Jesus to their followers and drugs were used to keep them in line.
Yeah. I’ve been here longer than several of the most vocal members of that particular club. So I don’t particularly care whether I’m welcome here or not.
Why do you keep contradicting the scripture I gave you?
Are you perfect? Neither were they. Y’all seem to put your trust in men instead of Jesus. I trust His Word, not men

You are missing point. David Koresh interprets Scriputure as did Jim Jones, as does Al Sharpton, Rev. Moon, Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Billy Graham, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. They all believe “their” version and “their” interpretation of Scripture is valid. The question at the beginning and ends comes down to one question. It’s called Petrine Authority. There are enough and more books to fill libraries on this subject. Some of the foremost Protestant theologians who wrote, taught, and preached to their congregations admitted to their errors and have converted to Catholicism. Don’t take my word for it. Consult Cardinal Henry Newman’s work, America’s leading Lutheran theologian, Richard Neuhaus, or Francis Beckwith, the the president of the Evangelical Theological Society, an association of 4,300 Protestant theologians, who resigned his position and joined the Roman Catholic Church. Others include Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.), theologian Scott Hahn.
Oh.
For the record, the author is a genuine former RC priest.
Amen and Amen!
“Your” interpretation against the Catholic Church and all its theologians including preeminent Protestant scholars and theologians who converted to the Catholic Church. You argue the stuff of street preachers like Joel Osteen.
My “interpretation”? What part of post 94 was my “interpretation”?
Hey, when they start comparing you to the likes of Koresh, chalk it up as a win.
It means they have nothing to use in an actual debate, so since they can’t contest the message, they go after the messenger.
Trying to discredit your opponent is used by the side that’s losing badly.
It was either Bush’s fault or he was poorly catachized.
