For some reason, the number one damning fact about Catholicism--that over the past century and a half it has (for all intents and purposes) moved from a strong inerrantist position on the Bible to one of the most liberal--has been left out.
Wish you Prots would occasionally point this out. It is important to you, isn't it?

It is important to you, isn't it? Well, ZC, we know it's important to YOU...LOL...I hardly see you talk about anything else. :)
And I feel the need to remind you that the inerrantist position has not been repudiated. I would agree with you that people, even bishops and even popes, have been trying to play footsie with it, but what right have they to trump numerous dogmatic statements in this regard?

Much like the many American Catholics are on B.C. pills?

Not correct. The modernists and dissenters who have attacked the Church from within have tried to get the Church to move to a liberal position on the inerrancy of Scripture.
The teaching Magisterium of the Church has NOT budged. It will never depart from the Truth.

"For some reason, the number one damning fact about Catholicism--that over the past century and a half it has (for all intents and purposes) moved from a strong inerrantist position on the Bible to one of the most liberal--has been left out." Wrong. There have been a few theologists who have gotten a lot of press to that effect, but the Church's position on Biblical inerrancy has not changed one iota.

I'm not sure how much the RCC ever based its teaching on the Bible. Since Trent up to the present time, almost never. Before that, it finagled the words of God to fit its doctrines. Rome has never been one to confine or define itself by the Bible.
Rome's loss.

J. Rushdoony, one of the giants of the faith on the Reformed side, spoke respectfully of the astute Pius X. Seeing the writing on the wall, this pope erected the doctrine of papal infallibility as a firewall against the floodtide of secular humanism. And that protective barrier held for nearly a century, until Vatican II.

No matter what we point out, conspirator, they will never believe it anyway.
