“That’s right narses. I’m so glad you keep bringing it up so that it can be discussed again.”

That you glory in your odd heresies says all that needs to be said CB.

Oh no narses. People need to check out how much of Catholicism comes from pagan practices and symbols. The RCC after all included most of the pagan practices, holidays, and symbols to attract pagans into the RCC.

From the article: The archbishop said the commission recognized that when the church describes the Scriptures as being divinely inspired and true certain "challenges come from the Bible itself," including when passages seem to contradict scientific or historical evidence.

Another challenge, he said, is posed by "the violence in some passages" that seems to contradict basic Christian teaching and even phrases the Bible attributes directly to Jesus.

The point of the document, he said, is to help Catholics "overcome both fundamentalism and skepticism."

Depending on the intent behind each of the lines above, it is possible for a biblical Christian to have real problems with them. The intent of a biblical Christian is always to be true to the text.
