They are human just like you are and are just as likely to be prone to error as you are.

Who says your not prone to error? And why is it that protestants are not united with your belief. Are you some special messenger of God that has no consistent historical interpretations of Scripture?

As I’ve demonstrated the Vatican Edifice is not any more united, homogeneous in doctrine &/or beliefs held and practiced by the mass of average Roman Catholics than is the mass of diverse Protestants.

Of course, I’m not surprised that a number of Roman Catholics et al ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to face or deal with that objective REALITY.

Reminds me of your Origen, one of your great church fathers...He is pretty much responsible for the false notion that most scripture was to be taken as allegory...In other words, scripture is not literal, it means something other than what it says...But unfortunately, no Catholic ever figured out what the allegories alluded to, but yet your church still follows this private min-interpretation of the scripturs...

And so then, it is the Catholic historical position that most scripture is allegorical...

So does that make Origen's premise true??? Of course not...All that shows is that Origen looked at scripture thru the eyes of the 'natural' man...The scripture that Origen and his followers couldn't/can't figure out tells us that...

The Catholic church can’t even make up its own mind about what it believes. One pope declares something to be true and another comes along and changes that on him.

What’s going to be changed in Vatican III?
