let's review your posts.

ROE said in #678

During his papacy, Benedict XVI has advocated a return to fundamental Christian values to counter the increased secularisation of many developed countries. He views relativism’s denial of objective truth, and the denial of moral truths in particular, as the central problem of the 21st century. He teaches the importance of both the Catholic Church and an understanding of God’s redemptive love. He has reaffirmed the “importance of prayer in the face of the activism and the growing secularism of many Christians engaged in charitable work.”

you asked in #805

This giant in the religious community....where does he teach of the importance of - God's Word? #1 in importance.

to which ROE said in #826

In his wonderful book “Jesus of Nazareth”. I understand that the second in this series is due out soon.

How do you get this to mean

You would consider that God’s Word?

How do you jump to such conclusions? That is just sola interpretura.

You ask where has Pope Benedict taught about importance of God's Word -- ROE answers you by referring to a book the pope wrote. And you jump to some erroneous conclusion. That is sola intepretura

The pope writes a book about the importance but the catechism is their bible, along w/their man made teachings/doctrines. I can write a book about the importance of fruit and vegetables but eat twinkies all day long.

And you jump to some erroneous conclusion.

No. More like the Catholics jumped into the pool of deception.

God's Word is God inspired. You think the pope's book is? Here's some WORDS on what your tradition has done...

"Thus you nullify the Word of God by your tradition that you have handed down.." Mark 7:13

How can the pope speak/write about God's Word in honesty, if he has already nullified it? Perhaps, in his book he will denounce the heresy teachings of the Vatican?

"'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in VAIN; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'"
