Or maybe that is why the Council of Nicea had over 300 Bishops.

So a majority could 'hear from GOD'?

One of the criticisms Catholics use against sS is that different interpretations would mean the Holy Spirit contradicted Himself.

Well, if the magisterium is led by the Holy Spirit, why isn't it required to be unanimous?

Why majority vote?

Does the Holy Spirit contradict Himself?

Or maybe some of the men aren't really hearing the Holy Spirit after all.

So how do they know which ones are and which ones aren't?

Maybe the minority are the ones who are hearing correctly.
