>>You cannot claim the authority of the Church in some matters but not all.<<

I wasn’t claiming the authority of the RCC. You are the one who thinks the RCC is the only one who is correct. If you think they are correct then you need to believe that indeed John was quoting the Latin version which was on the plaque.

>>John did indeed quote it, but who is to say that it was not written in Greek originally and then copied by Jerome et al into Latin?<<

So you are saying that John would have used the Greek version then someone else translated it into Latin? Are you so intent on not believing what scripture says that you are going to revert to the ridiculous?

I think it would be best to discontinue this conversation. It’s starting to feel like I’m discussing this with a delusional and it’s wasting my time. Believe as you wish. Have a nice day.

It gets so twisted and knotted and gummed up that it becomes impossible to sort it out. The question is: is it on purpose?

I need you to tell me the Catholic Faith? You can be very funny at times.

Up until Jerome, all Catholic Scripture was in Greek.
