and the almost universal position in the Catholic Church that the "old testament" and its stories and rituals are adaptations from ancient Babylonian and Canaanite mythology?

Hi again. It would be nice if you could provide a source for your bewildering claim that the universal position of the Catholic Church is that the O.T. is adapted from ancient mythology.

In fact, some Catholics (perhaps most?) seem to be unable to tell the difference between sola scriptura and Biblical inerrancy, and invoke the "mistakes" and "errors" in the Bible in order to illustrate the need for the magisterium.

How can such a claim be made which utterly and totally ignores any remedial research of a) the Catechism, or b)papal encyclicals which clearly teach nothing of the sort? This is disinformation at its worst. I don't believe for a second that anyone who supposedly spent six years in the Church would utter such nonsense unless they were sleep-walking through their membership, or just plain lying about it.

But since most posters on this thread actually seem to regard the Fundamentalist's inability to understand as amusing (and goodness knows, Catholics are too good to actually lower themselves to the level of a Baptist and actually proselytize someone), there is little use in my continuing to say anything here.

I haven't seen any hint of amusement at Protestant (or Noachide)ignorance toward Catholics. If there's laughter in here, it's awfully quiet.
