Oh please.....that is indeed a ridiculous argument. So now the Church is responsible for the blathering of anyone?

when those blathering are in high leadership positions, simply, yes

not too hard to grasp there, sport

To: Revelation 911

***Oh please.....that is indeed a ridiculous argument. So now the Church is responsible for the blathering of anyone?

when those blathering are in high leadership positions, simply, yes***

And when those in high leadership positions utter bad doctrine or heresy and are removed? We regard Origen as a great early theologian and would have been recognized as a great Doctor of the Church but he took it upon himself to supercede the Church and was banished in disgrace. Where is Tertullian? Even Augustine was removed for a time. Augustine wrote his Retractions, as well.

Nestorius was a great bishop and now his name stands for a horrible heresy. The Church has a consensus patrum, not individuals, declare doctrine.
