There is a great deal of difference between pointing out that man-made concepts like "sola scriptura" are unbiblical and saying that the Bible is inerrant.

Someone gets it! Mark the calendar! Strike up the band!

I've been saying for the almost nine years I've been here that "sola scriptura" and total Biblical inerrancy are two different things and that rejecting the former does not necessitate rejecting the latter!

Unfortunately, the vast majority of Catholics (including Catholic FReepers, like Campion whom you pinged) are convinced that the Bible is inerrant only in matters of faith and morals and is full of errors and contradictions elsewhere. As a matter of fact, I don't see how you can possibly be angry at me with your co-religionists defending evolution and higher criticism and rejecting total inerrancy in innumerable threads! Why don't you ask Campion if he believes that Genesis is totally inerrant?

Sheesh. The two or three of you inerrantist Catholics either refuse to state your beliefs publicly or else you act like no Catholic on this forum has ever denied total inerrancy, which is highly dishonest on your part.

As for Israel, Catholic theology is opposed to the rebuilding of the Holy Temple and the revival of the full Biblical service. And I'm not even including the nutjobs who ascribe every evil in the universe to a "Satanic Judaeo-Masonic conspiracy" (which explains why the Catholic Church is subjected to the same charge of being "Satanic" today; it's measure for measure).

It is my understanding and belief that prior to the the rebuilding of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, that certain specific events MUST transpire and that this has not happened yet.

Do you have a specific citation for Catholic Church teachings against rebuilding the Temple?

I believe that there are plenty of places where Scripture can be confusing and SEEM conflicting and it can certainly be erroneously interpreted, but this error is a fault of the reader and not the Bible.

Are you sure you aren't confusing papal infallibility (which only extends to matters of faith and morals) with Biblical inerrancy?
