To: Mrs. Don-o
I'm far from an expert on this. I just know that many things which were popular "pious opinions" for many years, or even centuries, were not defined dogmas; and it's easy to mistake the overturn of an entrenched opinion, with the overturn of a dogma.

I mean, it's confusing enough even for Catholics, let alone our beloved separated brethren ;o)

You may enjoy this short (2 min) video, which explains Papal Infallibility (Link) --- quite accurately, BTW, and with an irresistable comic tickle.

With all due respect, Mrs. Don-o, you are avoiding the issue. This is not about papal infallibility or its limits. Nor is this about "pious opinions." This is strictly about why you and so many other Catholics refuse to listen to science when it tells you that the "virginal conception" couldn't have happened but then turn right around and throw the first eleven chapters of Genesis out the window because those same scientists tell you that those events couldn't have happened, and for the very same reason: because "that's not how it happens now, so it couldn't have happened that way then."

This isn't funny, and it isn't humorous. Nor do I take kindly to your making light of my questions. Kindly go back to my last post to you and respond to the issues I raised or please leave me alone. As funny and inconsequential as this appears to you, it is not to me.

I apologize for any offense I have carelessly given. I haven't time to respond now: it's 10:00 pm, I've been in and out all day trying to pull out old veggie beds, sow cover plants and winter-ready my garden, and will be out all day tomorrow with a prayer vigil at an abortion clinic in Bristol, TN. If I don't get back to you on Friday, please send me a nudge.

As for the video, I rather thought it was taking a humorous look at Catholicism, not at you. Again, I ask your forgiveness for thoughtless trespasses on my part.

ZC, how do you define yourself (religion)? You’re Jewish, right? If so, what kind of Jewish? Orthodox?

My apologies if I am completely off base.

With all due respect, why should any Christian care what an avowed anti-Christ anti-Christian who claims Jesus Christ was a fraud and all Christians are victims of one scam or another has to say about Christian doctrine?

There's no doctrinal issue to discuss with someone who denies the fact that Jesus Christ id the only begotten Son of God and who begins the discussion believing that Christians are hooples duped by carnival barkers and various conspiracies. Especially if such folks have based their conclusions on having their little feelers hurt by a single individual they may or may not have ever met as opposed to creating as a foil to use as a starting point for preaching their anti-Christ trash.
