Pope Benedict is on Twitter. Really.

Bully for him. I'm not.

So folks are certainly welcome and able to “tweet” him their private, fallible theological opinions, and their own personal, fallible interpretations of Scripture.

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When you're Catholic, apparently, everything sounds like Protestantism and "private interpretation."

What you conveniently forget is that there was an official, authoritative oral interpretation of Scripture for three thousand years before the proto-Lutheran revolt that gave birth to chrstianity ever occurred. And the first thing chrstianity did was throw out the authentic oral interpretation of Scripture that had been around since Moses.

Care to repeat the parrot-call of "private interpetation" again, AB?

I’m sure he’ll give such tweets all the consideration that they’re due.

Since admitting that his religion is built on moonbeams would cost him his job, I don't doubt you in the least.

How any person (regardless of religion) can quote a Hebrew Bible while twisting it beyond recognition and still keep a straight face is beyond me.

I know . . . don't tell me . . . "private interpretation . . . BAWK!"

Little surprises me, any more ...

Certainly, this forum lacks surprises.

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Anti-Catholic folks certainly do a good job of demonstrating this phenomenon with their own musings.

proto-Lutheran revolt that gave birth to chrstianity

That's certainly an ... inventive ... interpretation of history.

Have a lovely day!
