"Sure, Catholics are "free" to follow 2 and 3. As long as they follow 1."

Thanks for the laughs. It really is comical when the illiterati pretend to be Canon Lawyers. As my Grandfather used to say its kinda like watching a raccoon trying to hump a greased doorknob.

Perhaps in your zeal to slander the Church you failed to read anything else in the Canon. FYI - Canon 212 is addressing the liturgy. It is to ensure that the Mass is conducted properly.

Your Grandfather really used to say that? Thanksgiving must have been a HOOT at your house;)

Choices have consequences. It seems dishonest to attempt to impugn those not bound by the Protestant choice.

A Protestant believes in no infallible authority; he is an authority unto himself, which authority he does not claim to be infallible, if he is sober and sane. He is after truth; and whatever he finds, and wherever he finds it, he subjects it to his own private judgment. He is free to accept or reject, as he pleases. He is not, cannot be, absolutely certain that what he holds is true; he thinks it is. He may discover to-day that yesterday's truths are not truths at all.

Perhaps in your zeal to slander the Church

The church slanders itself when it claims it was started by Jesus. They are a 'religious' worldly organization who uses the Jesus wrap to deceive. All their kiss the ring, pomp and circumstance, control tactics are NOTHING like Jesus.

ONE would have to KNOW Jesus in order to see what a fraud the CC is. JESUS, The WORD, is The FINAL Authority. He always was and always will be.

You have to have lawyers to interpret what the RCC teaches?

The concept of being qualified in subject matter seems to be under attack now.

Every individual an authority on every subject.

Kewl!
