I suggest you read more recent documents, such as those issued by John Paul II. A much kinder tome has been adopted as of late, and this does all boil down to tone.
As to Heresy and apostasy? Who says? I mean who has the right to use these words? I need to see by express warrant YOU make such charges?
“I suggest you read more recent documents, such as those issued by John Paul II. A much kinder tome has been adopted as of late, and this does all boil down to tone.”
Tones, feelings, rainbows, puppies. Is that what the Catholic church has come down to? This was a declaration by a Pope. Is it wrong?
“As to Heresy and apostasy? Who says? I mean who has the right to use these words? I need to see by express warrant YOU make such charges?”
Here you go, it’s all right here:
Matthew 28
18And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Titus 3
10A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;11Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
2 Corinthians 4:1-4
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
We have a commission to preach the Gospel to all the world, not to hide it or make merry with those who are dying. We are also commanded to reject heresy and admonish it.
You certainly have the choice to reject correction on these matters, but it doesn’t change the fact that there is little Biblical support for so many Catholic doctrines. I can do nothing else except call them what they are.
