Careful Jilliane, you are sounding like a bible protestant. The Church gave us the bible, yes...however in it (per St. Paul) says following the oral traditions. Not everything was written in the bible, and St. Paul (in his writings) referred to them.
The Council of Nicea was also infallible, and is where our Credo, er...sorry, the "profession of faith" originates (referring to Christ judging "the living and the dead.") As Catholics it is not an either/or thing, as I believe you know.
The priest in question here in the article is an obvious and blatant heretic, and Rome is dealing with him appropriately.
There is a misunderstanding in what I wrote earlier about the bible. I was being sarcastic. You can be sure the LAST thing I am like is a bible protestant.
You are a very good Catholic and not just in words. It is obvious. You believe it, understand it deeply and can see the bigger picture and are not afraid of those who question something. I hope to cross paths with you on FR again sometime.
On another note, I just returned from a Republican caucus. The chair of the caucus invited me and it was the first thing like it I ever attended. It felt so good to be surrounded in a room with Republicans....lots of them. Especially after the experience of this thread today, it was comforting to listen to people I’m on the same page with...funny comments about Blagoiocrats challenging us in the next local elections (I’m in Illinois).
We’re not supposed to talk about politics, religion or money with people. I better start a money thread fast so I can break all the rules.
Goodnight and God bless.
