Big deal, you found two Catholics are not in complete agreement on HOW the Magisterium functions, but agreeing on WHAT it does and its infallibility.

Imagine that. You guys can disagree and it's not a problem.

That said, I will put both JCBreckenridge and my posting accuracies up against any of the Sola crowd.

When Catholics disagree on theology and doctrine it's *Big deal*.

When non-Catholics disagree on theology and doctrine it's *every man is his own pope* and proof of the inherent flaws of people being able to interpret Scripture for themselves.

The hypocrisy abounds.

"When Catholics disagree on theology and doctrine it's *Big deal*."

Much ado about nothing, except the depths some will stoop to fabricate a controversy where none exists. JCB and I did NOT disagree over a matter of theology or doctrine. JCB stated that the Magisterium need not be unanimous in its debates and recommendations to the Pope. My comment was that the Magisterium speaks with one voice. The two statements are not mutually exclusive. The Magisterium composed of the living Episcopacy of the Church and bound by the pronouncements of previous popes studies issues and presents its findings to the Pope who then, after prayer and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit declares.
