Now, no one's saying that everything the Bible says must be taken literally, not even Literalists

Pardon?

What I gather from your past posts, is you do not believe the Bible is inerrant nor that it contains literal truths. This, I think, is your loss.

I think that the Bible is infallible Revelation of God written down by fallible men. Until Protestants accept that, they will continue to invent increasing novelties and try to substitute them for Christianity.

Even though the men who wrote God's word were sinful and fallible, when they spoke as they were moved along by the Holy Spirit, their every word is God's word and God's word IS infallible. Until Roman Catholics accept THAT, they will continue to invent increasing novelties and try to substitute their own assumed infallibly defined infallibility for God's OWN infallible word.

"For concerning the divine and holy mysteries of the Faith, not even a casual statement must be delivered without the Holy Scriptures; nor must we be drawn aside by mere plausibility and artifices of speech. Even to me, who tell thee these things, give not absolute credence, unless thou receive the proof of the things which I announce from the Divine Scriptures. For this salvation which we believe depends not on ingenious reasoning, but on demonstration of the Holy Scriptures." - Cyril of Jerusalem (Catechetical Lectures, 4:17)

How rich is it that you - who do not believe God's Word is the Final Authority - are telling Protestants who do, what they should accept and what you 'think' about God's Word.

Time and time again Catholics leave out the Word is Holy Spirit inspired as they chow down on their sugar coated man made teachings. Being clueless how the Holy Spirit works through man is no excuse for IGNORING the HOLY SPIRIT.

You, SUBJECTS of Rome, are too busy obeying your FALLIBLE superiors and not allowed to embrace Truth. And commanded to check your ~~brains~~ reason at the door. What part of bondage do you enjoy so much?
