“Do you disagree with the book of Romans?”
If the Letter to the Romans teaches that willful rejection of the hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church means damnation, I certainly do, but I must say that I have never heard such a novel interpretation of +Paul’s letter. I look forward to your thinking.
BTW, Mass on Sunday afternoon?
What, you never heard of evening mass on saturday and sunday?
You should get out more.
As for my reasoning with regard to the book of romans: Paul tells us in chapter 1 the inference to God’s existence from the witness of creation is so simple and obvious that no man is exempt from the responsibilities that knowledge demands. Please note this implies even thorough indoctrination in evolutionary theory, no matter how popular or pervasive, can provide legitimate defense from the standard all men have always been held to in the judgement of The Almighty.
Now if we take this as the standard God expects of us (i.e. reject a really reasonable sounding “alternative” explaination for how everything got here), and further note Jude’s admonition against the apostasy of Korah MUST be referring to an analogous authority in the Church or the warning is a complete tautology, who better than the heir to Peter better fits the type Jude is using?
