Hogwash, as I've noted in my last posting to this post of yours. There's a list of verifications as I noted.
And indeed, that’s really what the Magisterium is: It’s a living witness, guided and protected from error by God the Holy Spirit, to give a living witness to the Good News of Christ. Without this unbroken line of witnesses (apostolic succession), all we have are dead words on pages, with no real connection to today.
Hogwash. I can't think of a deader collection of whited sepulcher bureaucratic political power-mongers heading any religion that still claims to be the least bit Trinitarian. Though virtually every RELIGIOUS even Christian club are hard at work trying to catch up on such scores. Sadly.
PROTECTING FROM ERROR???? WHAT OUTRAGEOUS AFFRONTERY TO HOLY SPIRIT! If He thought that such was what God had set up, He'd likely be worried about being fired over such a poor job of keeping such a duplicitous heretical clique of self-righteous elitists from error--serious error, bloody serious error, horrifice power-mongering and sometimes even WAR-MONGERING error.
One would think RC's would postulate something that was not so demonstrably the OPPOSITE of what their history PROVED thousands of times over.
The fact that anyone pretending to be the least bit knowledgeable about the UNRUBBERIZED HISTORY could remotely believe anything of the kind--"kept us free from error" . . . is mind bogglingly . . . words fail me . . . obtuse, clueless, horrifically duplicitous--all such words are far too weak to describe the phenomenon.
is, IMO, God’s message to us today to not rely on the “Bible alone”,
HOGWASH.
I believe that the most plausible explanation is that it's a VIVID OBJECT LESSON IN AVOIDING IDOLATRY OF ANYTHING TANGIBLE; AVOIDING ANYTHING BUT WORSHIPPING, ADORING, VENERATING, . . . THE FATHER, SON AND SPIRIT.
Welllll, I thought maybe there would be some new slant on somthing that would prove an interesting challenge to respond to. Sadly, it was the same old same old brazenly idolotrous, blasphemous, duplicitous hogwash.
Perhaps you'll have a better chance next time. Though, if this bunch of stuff is any clue, I sure wouldn't bet the farm on it.
