One can adopt the fear and mistrust of a Mr. Ferrara or one can trust the Holy Spirit willl continue to work through the Magisterium.For me, Faith and Trust is a lot more enjoyable - and rational -because those approaches are based upon the promises of Christ - Matt 16:18.
And when science proves man can not have an eternal soul, and your Church agrees, youll say you trust the Holy Spirit will continue to work through the Magisterium.
And when science proves there can not be an all knowing, and all loving God, and your Church agrees, youll say you trust the Holy Spirit will continue to work through the Magisterium.
And when science proves that God is simply pure energy, and it would be impossible for energy to produce a human Son, that would become a Spiritual being that could make a visible return to this earth, and your Church agrees, you will again say that you trust the Holy Spirit will continue to work through the Magisterium.
This is a perfect example of what happens when the Word of God takes 2nd place to tradition.
What will you say when science tells you your Eucharist bread does not turn into Christ body, or that Mary couldnt have become pregnant with Jesus with out the aid of a human man?
Let me guess, youll say you trust the Holy Spirit will continue to work through the Magisterium.

Lets talk about what the church actually says rather than what it could POSSIBLY say? None of these are even though about by the Church.
The position the Church has said was much distorted, expanded, and extended by Ferrara, who makes a living off fear and sensationalism. I would trust the Weekly World News more that I would trust him.
Or are we witnessing yet another sign of the great apostasy in the Catholic Church beginning at the top, which was predicted by the Third Secret of Fatima?
This is called begging the question. Holding that living things change isn't apostasy, unless you need to claim this to sell papers.

Small worries on this, then, since science cannot and will not ever comment on any of these subjects. Nor would anyone who knew anything about science ever expect that it would.
