Papal fiat supercedes the Bible, because the Pope has been declared inerrant in the first Vatican Council of 1870. They declared the Pope speaks "ex cathedra" (i.e., "from his chair" or authoritatively), ergo he is infallible in matters of faith and morals.
However, the same catholic church teaches a position of "limited inerrancy": Scripture is inerrant, but not all of it.
Why were the inquisitions focused on heretics who believed in "sola-scriptura"? Because this doctrine threatens the popes authority.
The Papal edicts are meaningless in this debate, especially to a protestant.
You're being a ridiculous and dishonest horse's ass in public. Stop.

You're being a ridiculous and dishonest horse's ass in public. The lad also can't spell "supersede". But now we've both wasted more time on that idiocy than it deserves.

You're being a ridiculous and dishonest horse's ass in public. Stop.Refutation of the argument works better than name calling; it appears you've been over at DU too long!
