A catechism is a statement of faith not a line by line teaching of the meaning of every verse of scripture.. There is no such thing as a catholic commentary so when one preaches or teaches they are free to find what ever they want in the text.. YOPIOS is what every priest and teacher does in the RC...

Fascinating statement. The Church teaches, as it has always taught, in those statements of faith and belief. There is no need of a line by line teaching because the Faith is a composition of the whole Bible. A line here goes with a paragraph there goes with an entire chapter over there. This again is nonCatholic teaching and very different than the first 1500 years of Christianity. The Faith comes first, then the Bible.

I heard some terrible hermeneutics in my days as a catholic .

And so have I. I cringe sometimes.

If the magistrum is the definer of what scripture means they are the author of those poor hermeneutics

I heard Sr Angela say on her show yesterday there are many ways to interpret the bible but we will not understand them until we are in heaven ... poor sister admits on television she does not understand what scripture says..hey but thats ok as long as she will in heaven

What a church failure when a nun can not understand the word of God..because it is that very word that leads to eternal life..the fact she can not understand it means she will never get to heaven
