"Be not afraid; only believe." -- Mark 5:36

Sadly, for the RC, that sentence needs to be filtered through the magisterium in order to be properly understood...

Yes, it is sad because it amounts to a faith in men instead of God. Who do they have to believe to get into Heaven?

The real problem here is that this self-appointed group of men admit they do not follow the word of God alone, but that they follow and require others to follow their own "infallible" pronouncements which by definition, are not necessarily the words of God.

Yes, and of course whose fault is this? Why, it's God's fault of course because He set it up that way. Don't blame us for God abdicating His office, it was God who wanted to pass the buck. Unbelievable. :)

This infallibility extends as far as the deposit of divine Revelation itself.421

Yes, and the "deposit of divine Revelation" extends, ........., FOREVER, of course. Otherwise, what would a Pope have to do to make himself feel important. :)

"...some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm...

No one can say that God didn't know this was coming and that He warned us to recognize it. Thanks for bringing all of this easily into the light! :)
