The weakening of faith and the collapse of moral values were equally disheartening. Many mainline churches, once stalwart in defense of orthodox Christian doctrine, now watered down fundamental beliefs such as the inerrancy of Scripture, the Virgin Birth, the Bodily Resurrection, and even the Divinity of Christ.
Catholicism is among the most liberal of all the churches and has certainly watered down many "fundamental beliefs," especially "the inerrancy of Scripture." Even well-known "conservative" Catholic apologists like Fr. Peter Stravinskas and Keating reject the total inerrancy of scripture. How in the world can anyone not know this? Am I the only person who has noticed this?
What is wrong with people?
Absolute Nonsense!
There may be INDIVIDUALS who don,t know their faith but the Churches teachings are united.
Its called the Catechism-and those who don,t follow it do it at their own risk!
You seem to have disdain for all Christians?
On the inerrancy of Scripture.
From Dei Verbum
Therefore, since everything asserted by the inspired authors or sacred writers must be held to be asserted by the Holy Spirit, it follows that the books of Scripture must be acknowledged as teaching solidly, faithfully and without error that truth which God wanted put into sacred writings (5) for the sake of salvation. Therefore "all Scripture is divinely inspired and has its use for teaching the truth and refuting error, for reformation of manners and discipline in right living, so that the man who belongs to God may be efficient and equipped for good work of every kind" (2 Tim. 3:16-17, Greek text).
Also this : In 1920, Pope Benedict XV dealt with this incorrect approach in Spiritus Paraclitus: "The method of those who extricate themselves from difficulties by allowing without hesitation that divine inspiration extends to matters of faith and morals and to nothing more" can not be tolerated. The Church "teaches that divine inspiration extends to every part of the Bible without the slightest exception, and that no error can occur in the inspired text" (Spiritus Paraclitus 21).
I think you are confusing the fact that the Church says that there are different writing styles in found in the Bible other than literal. There is prose, metaphor, allegory but all of these convey the Truth. Sometimes both may be found in one story. The Story of Jonah is both a literal historical event and an allegory for Christ's 3 days in the tomb and His resurrection. God does not literally have thousands of cattle on a hill. But all the earth and its creatures is under His providence.
The whole of the Bible is a salvation history. It reveals how God created, loved us and saved us. He did this within the context of real events and real people. Biblical archeology proves this. Throughout the OT He is preparing the way for Christ our promised Savior and throughout the NT He is showing how Christ fullfills the promises of the OT.
PS I do not know if you are Jewish. The tag Zionist Conspirator could be a Christian's or a Jew's. I am explaining this through a Catholic Christian viewpoint. Of course if you are Jewish I understand you would not hold the NT as being a sacred book. But I believe the OT is inspired and inerrant and hope I offer no insult to your faith.
