Catholics don't get to make up their own meanings of words from scripture.

You know, this is where the claim by Catholics that the RCC wrote the Bible falls flat. If they wrote it, they sure failed miserably in writing something that supports current church doctrine.

If they wrote it you'd think they'd have done a better job and used words like *priest* to mean priest, for example, instead of a word that means elder or something other than priest.

How does that line go? “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive”.

I can only imagine the fear in the CC leadership when the printing press was invented and Bibles became available to all. Especially when the old manuscripts became available to all.

They wrote the book that condemns their religion...What a hoot...

And then they spend the next 1500 years trying to claim that the book doesn't mean what it says...
