"At Root of Catholic Problems is Lack of Biblical Spirituality"

Why bother???

Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible

Didn't see your post, the article or a similar one is posted below. I do agree though. When ever the church says the bible is irrellevent again it will be back to Cannon Law. "If Cannon Law was good enough for St. Peter then it is good enough for me!"

I think the article over-reacts to the Church's view that not all parts of Scripture are to be read ONLY literally, especially the first 11 Chapters of Genesis, call Pre-History. We first take the Scriptures literally, but we realize that it is possible that our interpretations should be taken in a more spiritual sense to get the most out of Scripture.

The story of Jonah, for example, CAN be taken as a parable or a story. It may or may not be literally true. However, the truth that God meant to say THROUGH the story is inerrant. What is that truth? Certainly, that Gentiles can be saved, and can be far more repentant than the chosen people (whether you interpret that as Jews of the OT or Christians of the NT).

Are you here to fart all over the thread?

Harley,I,m surprised at you.
What,s your purpose here?
Just because one Cardinal made that statement does not mean it,s shared by the whole Catholic faith.
Anyone can surely find fault with statements made by individuals of all denominations.

The problem with people that bash the Catholic Church is that they have accepted propaganda as fact.

This is always a dangerous thing,especially for the Christian mind.

I believe that thread was about the bishops of England, Scotland and Wales.

We need to pray for them too.

The title "Catholic Church" is indicative of the media bashing anything Catholic, because you can see this was a small group of bishops yet it got attributed to the "whole" Catholic Church.
