Then that means that the approval for that book on Mary that Quix posted IS official Church position and doctrine.

How many times have we seen some Catholic official go off half cocked and the FRoman Catholics shriek that that does NOT represent official Church doctrine cause it’s not from the Vatican? Yet here we have another FRoman Catholic saying that it is and not only that, but it’s infallible.

A religion of expediency. Whatever works, say. Whatever feels right, do.

"A religion of expediency. Whatever works, say. Whatever feels right, do."

Thank you for recognizing the need for a Magisterium and a Communion of the Saints in which all believers are of a like mind, as opposed to the chaos within the Protestant world.

That being said, all men (and women) fall short of the Glory of God and no organization comprised of over a billion will ever be in perfect harmony and Communion. If you see or experience a lack of unity among Catholics it is a testament of our humanity, not our ungodliness. The deficiency is within us, not the Church.

Fortunately, we have a Sacraments for confession, contrition, indulgence, the forgiveness of sins and Communion to aid us on our never ending quest for Salvation.

Very good. I could not have described the revolution that Luther brought more fittingly.
