[Deo volente]

"You are clearly suggesting that your church tradition trumps the God inspired words of God..."


Not trying to derail the thread here, but your own Bible states the primacy of Church authority (and no, Catholics don't claim the Church "trumps" the Scriptures).

"...that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."

We've been through this so many times on so many threads, so I don't want to open it up again, but I couldn't leave you in the dark about this. Catholics have a Church-based Bible, not a Bible-based church. There's a big difference there.

I'm not in the dark about it...God is the pillar and ground of the truth...NOT your religion...
