This is the problem with the Catholic Church, they swear their fidelity to the magisterium instead of God the Father and/or His Son.
They worship the church fathers and their teachings instead of God the Father and Jesus' teachings.
Not once is Christ or God mentioned as having any authority as what you are to believe. So much for Jesus being the head of His church.
**This is the problem with the Catholic Church, they swear their fidelity to the magisterium instead of God the Father and/or His Son.**
You really don’t understand Catholicism in my opinion. Our faith is in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The magisterium interprets guidelines for Catholics. Catholic don’t “Swear fidelity” to the magisterium’ their fidelity is with Christ.
Catholics do, however, listen to and follow the instructions of the magisterium — that is the REAL Catholics that you will find here on FR — not the CINOs like Pelosi, Biden, et al.
Please read this and get back to us.
This is what we believe. If you can read that document and tell us with a straight face that "not once is Christ or God [sic, Christ IS God] mentioned as having any authority", there really isn't much more anyone can say.
