“There can be only one Truth and one interpretation of that particular truth. “

If we are to accept the Roman Catholic Church’s official position on Scripture and doctrine, then how do we reconcile it when they change their minds?

If there can be only one interpretation and their interpretation is the only one allowed (which is a false reading of 2 Peter 1:20), then were they wrong in their interpretation before? What of the teaching regarding “limbo”? Benedict the 16th CHANGED THAT, did he not? Was all previous teaching on the subject error? What else do they have wrong?

Scripture is not a great mystery, only for the sages in robes, but is the Great Mystery - God’s Gift to us! Be mindful of Mark 7:5-7......

(5) So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with ‘unclean’ hands?”

(6) He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:
“ ‘These people honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
(7) They worship me in vain;
their teachings are but rules taught by men.’ (8) You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men.”

Can you give an example of the Catholic Church changing her position on Scripture?
