Passages from what? Scripture.
It takes a conditioned preconceived notion to deny it. That’s what’s recorded in the Gospel, she said, and the teaching of Christians for 2000 years. If Pope William Terrell declares it doesn’t make it true.
It takes a conditioned preconceived notion to interpret scripture which passages don't say what the interpretation claims, and is in conflict with other scripture.
I can't make any sense of the second sentence.
If the Catholic pope says it, or the magisterium, or any other man, including me, that doesn't make it true. However, scripture exists, and I just repeat it.

I suppose that’s true. It’s what I think you are doing. I see perverts making passages say what they think justifying homosexual actions, but that doesn’t make it so. All that shows is that a final arbiter is necessary, and Christ gave us that, in Peter and his successors.

If all you were doing was repeating scripture, we wouldn’t be having this discussion. It’s your interpretations conflicting with the true meanings, and your contempt, as you said, for the Catholic Church and Catholics that keep this going. -Glenn
