Scriptural reading is not like reading the morning newspaper. This is why we have a Catholic Church- so that there there aren’t a million different interpretations of the Truth. There is scriptural text, tradition, and revelation.
I realize that. It is not like reading newspapers, it is accepted on faith. That's why the Creeds start with "We believe..." and not "We know..."
Nevertheless, I would still be curious for you to explain to me how we can have so much "diversity" in who saw whom when and how...or is it all "allegorical?"
