"It's teaching is not infallible; but it holds a place between approved catechism and what is "de fide"."
It's a good Catechism probably the best of them all. But it's not perfect and you've latched right onto the errors. I'm sure you wouldn't think that the prohibition against ordaining a physically deformed man from the priesthood because his shocking appearance would distract the people is de fide. Or the reference to priests as "gods" is anything but metaphorical.
The Catechism is a part of the Ordinary Magisterium of the Church. The examples of "errors" (if they are such) you cite are disciplinary and literary. Baptism of Desire is doctrinal. The Ordinary Magisterium does not err in doctrine that is repeated for millenia and taught to the faithful as de fide.
You are right. That was easy.
Can you cite a single person who believed Fr. Feeney's doctrine prior to him (no BOD or BOB)? I can't.
Hermann,
I had pretty much decided to ignore you because of your absolute calumny against Charles Coulombe. Your obviously green with envy to such an extent that you have to lie and calumniate the man because he has credentials that you will never have. Dealing with someone who does the evil you do tells me one thing. You'll stoop to whatever level it takes to try to "win". Truth means nothing to you.
But the absolute stupidity of most of your answers will force my hand on some points that I'll have to deal with after I deal with the other obsessed one's 1001 pointless posts.
The Ordinary Magisterium contains both the Ordinary Authentic and the Ordinary Infallible magisterial quality.
The Ordinary Infallible Magisterium does not err. The Authentic is quite capable of error.
But it's obvious you can't tell the difference. No Catechism is infallible and the equal footing given to the dogma of the absolute necessity of Baptism with water and the speculative theology of Baptism of Desire and Baptism of Blood is one of the errors most commonly published.
You'll notice in all the citing of the earliest Fathers who may "speculate" on Baptism of Blood and Desire that they are actually speculating and not handing on the Tradition of the Church.
You probably don't know this, but the Fathers of the Church don't produce doctrine.
