My head hurts, why do I keep doing it?
I’ve enjoyed your posts and your patience.
Thanks, I take the Scripture seriously, and I’m always surprised how many Catholics don’t understand the teachings and dogma of their own Church. It pays off having 12 years of Catholic doctrine education, a mother-in-law who is a Catholic Education director for a local parish, and a few cousins who are ordained Catholic priests. And to be the only Protestant at family gatherings...;) We have some good theological discussions!
In fact, it was my mother-in-law who explained the fact that the Church is not always infallible, and exposed me to the fallible nature of the ordinary magisterium.
