[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

Settled dogma? Huh? Reminds me of what Algore says about global warming.

Rather than making things up out of whole cloth and “settled dogma”-—why not instead READ THE BIBLE!!!!!!

[Jim from C-Town]

Yes, Settled Dogma. At least in the eyes of the Catholic Church.

BTW:

I have read the Bible. I have read the entire St. Joseph version of the New Testament in High School during my Junior year. We read the Bible as well the Catholic Churches interpretation of the bible and how all the Churches Sacraments and Dogmatic teachings are all Biblically based.

It was part of the religious instruction at the Catholic High School I attended and EVERY pupil Catholic or non Catholic was required to do so and receive Catholic instruction.

I don’t recall everything I was taught. Suffice to say that they had answers to any question you could ever come up with. It is simply up to you to accept it or deny it. They can not force you to believe.

The reason why reading the Bible is insufficient is because the Bible is often confusing and even seemingly contradictory. Why do you think there are so many biblically based Protestant religions? If their was only one interpretation, why so many different churches?

The one thing in common with all Protestant religions is that they are not Catholic.
