Among Catholics there is room for freedom of opinion on various issues, of course. But you seem to want to use the expression of some of those opinions (the ones with which you disagree) as a way of bashing the Catholic Church. "Hey, look at what unbiblical notion the Catholic Church teaches!" When, in fact, there is no official document teaching the particular claim in question.

[re: recent posts:] I am fine with accepting that, but it does appear to be a change.

No, no, no. :) In my 801, I specifically said "IF that guy was right ...". I also said it didn't match what we Reformers had been told by other Catholics. I was criticizing the inconsistency, GIVEN THAT, among the top attacks we Reformers enjoy from our Catholic friends is that there are a million different denominations of Protestantism, and therefore there is no cohesiveness. We believe those attacks to be very erroneous and unfair. It should therefore be no surprise that we take notice when it appears there is disunity among Catholics.
