I keep seeing that thought pattern coming from the RCC. If it doesn’t say it didn’t happen we can say it did and that makes it so. Pardon me if I don’t take doctrine based on “it doesn’t say it didn’t happen” seriously.
And you marvel at why you guys are called "liars?"
I can see this thread has become too bitter for rational discourse.
You alleged “secret” and “orally” not on positive evidence but on the absence of refuting evidence.
When I point that out, you respond by saying that the Catholic Church affirms things not on positive evidence but on the absence of refuting evidence!
You gotta love it.
Fortunately I am not yet well enough to spend time beating my head against such a wall.
