[Luircin]

Again, you keep on proclaiming your dogma as if it were self-evident. It’s not.

You have not demonstrated the authority upon which this dogma rests, nor given us any reason to trust that authority.

The closest that I can figure is that you’ve said that the ‘Church’ is the authority that the dogma rests on, but you have still not demonstrated WHY.

Again, you keep on proclaiming your dogma as if it were self-evident. It’s not. You have not demonstrated the authority upon which this dogma rests, nor given us any reason to trust that authority. The closest that I can figure is that you’ve said that the ‘Church’ is the authority that the dogma rests on, but you have still not demonstrated WHY. Thus we must and shoot down what other RCs argue, but when you trust in the premise that certain learned men have converted to Rome, that may be all one needs.

Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. (John 7:45-49)
