of course not, because catholics have always believed in the inspired inerrant word of God, in fact, the very Church you are in a friendly manner making light of, put the Bible together divine guidance. (stated the canon about 325 or so, was it)And for about 1500 years all accepted the fact the Church alone had the power to authoritatively interpret Scripture, because the Bible was her book.
Some malcontents far removed from the orginal facts of history self-proclaimed their own infallible or quasi-infallibe interpretations and now we have the sad divsions and its logical aftermath: a society whose majority is “Christian” but who have very serious moral differences and who can now be exploited by unbelievers on account of the differences
the Bible is not argued about because we all agree that it is inspired, effective for teaching and reproof, etc.
Want a biblical argument: how many books are there 66? 72?
68 (didn’t the infallible St. Martin Luther want to ditch Revelation and other 3 other books, inclding the letter of St. James?) the fur will fly on that one
Evidently my point was missed.
Wasn’t talking about arguing about Scripture.
Was talking about the obvious, overt, persistent etc.
lack of emotional attachment to it as demonstrated for many years hereon by the
Roman Catholic contingent
COMPARED TO
the HYPER EMOTIONALITY at the drop of a thread from a white hanky regarding Mary et al.
Not facing that issue honestly and candidly will not likely trigger much bother from me as this thread goes on.
No human is infallible, including the Pope and the Saints. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
